Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Rottingdean
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. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you have leaks into the floor or ceiling below and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Rottingdean, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Rottingdean and across Brighton and Hove.

Rottingdean: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Rottingdean for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rottingdean is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rottingdean can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Landlord and commercial work in Rottingdean
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
When to call us in Rottingdean
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Schools such as Longhill High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Rottingdean, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Rottingdean
Rottingdean is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Wulfran's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Moulsecoomb station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
