Handcross Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Handcross need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Bathroom resealing in Handcross, done properly
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Handcross, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Around Handcross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Handcross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Balcombe 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 Handcross Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Handcross?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

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.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Handcross, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
