Bathroom resealing across BN52: what to expect
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- 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.

Bathroom resealing across BN52: local notes
From Hove to its smaller places, homes across BN52 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in BN52.
Hove: In the older streets around Holy Trinity Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Hove station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Why it fails
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Landlords, agents and businesses in BN52
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Why act early?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in BN52
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in BN52?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you cover BN52?
Yes, we do. BN52 is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
