Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Lewes, East Sussex
Our applicators work in Lewes on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
What we are called out for in Lewes
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
If you look after a building such as Lewes Old Grammar School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathroom resealing in Lewes, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have damp behind the bath or under the tray and two layers of silicone, both failing, we can help.
Most bathrooms in a town like Lewes are in family homes, used every day, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that’s cracked or stained.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. A visit in Lewes needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Lewes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lewes. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St John sub Castro, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Lewes station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Lewes is about 7 miles north-east of Brighton, in East Sussex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Lewes is covered for bathroom resealing, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, and Lewes is one of them. Brighton is on our list too, about 7 miles from Lewes.

Lewes’s nearest station is Lewes station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.

Why act early in Lewes
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Lewes, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Lewes
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Lewes questions
Do you cover Lewes for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Lewes is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lewes station?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
