About bathroom resealing in BN25

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We’re often asked to deal with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and black spots spreading through the bead, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathroom resealing across BN25: local notes

BN25 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Seaford, Tide Mills and Bishopstone there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in BN25 is planned around the forecast. In the coastal parts of BN25, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Seaford: Letting a property close to Seaford station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of St Thomas More, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade
  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner

Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet rooms

In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.

Shower trays & enclosures

There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

When it is not the sealant

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)

BN25 questions

Will there be a smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?

We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
