Our bathroom resealing service in BN42
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Local landmarks in Southwick
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Eastbrook Primary Academy, St Michael and All Angels Church and Benfield Hill. You’ll also find The Ship Inn (less than half a mile south), Shoreham Academy (0.5 miles west) and Shoreham College (0.6 miles south-west). There’s a railway station in Southwick itself: Southwick station. A little further out are Southlands Hospital (1 mile west) and Churchill Square (4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Shoreham Beach and Thundersbarrow Hill.
Where we work in BN42
Homes across BN42 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Shoreham-by-Sea, Portslade and Southwick. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across BN42 is planned around the weather. Parts of BN42 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.
Southwick: If you let a flat or house near Southwick station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to St Michael and All Angels Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
Landlords, agents and businesses in BN42
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Common problems we fix in BN42
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Your questions about bathroom resealing in BN42
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is white the only colour available?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
