About bathroom resealing in TN34
Across TN34, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and smears of silicone across the tiles.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom for a typical job.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Where we work in TN34
From Hastings, St Leonards and Hastings Old Town to its smaller places, homes across TN34 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. In the coastal parts of TN34, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Hastings: Rented homes near St Leonards Warrior Square station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Paul's Church of England Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Why it fails
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later.

FAQs for TN34
Do you cover TN34?
Yes. We cover TN34 and the rest of East Sussex. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
