Bathroom resealing in BN9: how it works
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the bath panel.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.

Local landmarks in Newhaven

Also close by are Church of St Michael and All Angels (under half a mile south-west) and The Ship Hotel (less than half a mile north). There’s a railway station in Newhaven itself: Newhaven Town station. A little further out are Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (1.2 miles south-east) and Newhaven Museum (0.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Itford Hill.
Where we work in BN9
In BN9, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Newhaven, Peacehaven and Denton and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in BN9. BN9 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Newhaven: For landlords with property near Newhaven Town station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What we are called out for in BN9
With age, silicone loses its stretch. 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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.

BN9 questions
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you work in BN9?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes BN9.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
