Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Kingston near Lewes
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath panel and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Being in a small place like Kingston near Lewes makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Kingston near Lewes, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Common problems we fix in Kingston near Lewes
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
If you look after a building such as Iford and Kingston Church of England 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Kingston near Lewes: your questions answered
Is Kingston near Lewes within the area you cover?
Yes, Kingston near Lewes is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Kingston near Lewes for bathroom resealing?

Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
Allow a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. You will know how long to expect before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
