How bathroom resealing works in BN26
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Local landmarks in Polegate
In Polegate, that means homes and buildings near Horse & Groom pub, Willingdon Community School and St John's Church of England Church. Polegate has its own railway station: Polegate station. A little further out are Burlough Castle (3.4 miles west) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.5 miles south). For a walk, there’s Combe Hill.
Where we work in BN26
In BN26, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Polegate, Lower Willingdon and Alfriston and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across BN26 is planned around the weather. Parts of BN26 are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Polegate: In the older streets around St John's Church of England Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Polegate Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What we’re called out for in BN26
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair.

BN26 questions
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in BN26?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work in BN26?
Yes. We work in BN26. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
