Bathroom resealing across TN40: what to expect
Homes in TN40 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- 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.
How we quote
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Bathrooms and kitchens across TN40
TN40 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Bexhill-on-Sea, Sidley and Bulverhythe. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in TN40, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in TN40 can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Bexhill-on-Sea: Schools such as King Offa Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Bexhill 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
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
