Bathroom resealing across PO21: what to expect
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Pricing in PO21
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Bathroom resealing across PO21: local notes
From Bognor Regis, Nyetimber and Aldwick to its smaller places, homes across PO21 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.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in PO21, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. In the coastal parts of PO21, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant usually gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Bognor Regis: If you let a flat or house near Bognor Regis station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like The Regis School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Common problems we fix in PO21
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
PO21 questions
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
