Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Rusper
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you’re dealing with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right.
Around Rusper, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What we are called out for in Rusper
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Homes close to St Mary Magdalene church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Rusper
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
How we quote for bathroom resealing

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Rusper needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
