Bathroom resealing across BN41: what to expect
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and we’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and black spots spreading through the bead.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the size of the job.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
What affects the price in BN41
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What’s near Portslade
In Portslade, that means homes and buildings near Peter Gladwin Primary School, Benfield Hill and The Mill House. You’ll also find King's School (within half a mile south-west) and St Nicolas Church (less than half a mile south-west). Portslade’s nearest station is Fishersgate station, roughly 0.7 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include British Engineerium (1.8 miles east) and Southlands Hospital (1.8 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Shoreham Beach and Thundersbarrow Hill.
Where we work in BN41
BN41 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Brighton and Hove, Portslade and Southwick there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in BN41, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in. Parts of BN41 are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Portslade: Managing a site like Peter Gladwin Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Nicolas Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Landlord and commercial work in BN41
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the quote in BN41
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Why act early?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
What we are called out for in BN41
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Questions from BN41
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is white the only colour available?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
