Our bathroom resealing service in PO19
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every 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 baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.

Around Chichester
We work in homes and buildings around Lancastrian Infant School, Church of St Paul and Central C of E Junior School, among other places. Nearby too are Chichester High School For Girls (0.7 miles south) and George and Dragon Inn (within half a mile south-east). For rail, the closest station is Chichester station, roughly 0.6 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Novium Museum (less than half a mile south) and Chichester Castle (under half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Stoke Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.
Bathrooms and kitchens across PO19
PO19 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Chichester, Portfield and Fishbourne there’s plenty of rented property too. 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 PO19 is planned around the weather. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in PO19 can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Chichester: Schools such as Lancastrian Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
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, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
PO19: your questions answered
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
