Bathroom resealing in Shoreham-by-Sea, done properly
It isn’t 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. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
In a town like Shoreham-by-Sea, older streets sit alongside newer estates, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Either way, the sealant and grout are normally the first things to fail.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Shoreham-by-Sea and across West Sussex.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Buckingham Park Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Mary de Haura Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Shoreham-by-Sea is about 4 miles west of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Shoreham-by-Sea, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we are called out for in Shoreham-by-Sea
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Letting a property close to Shoreham-By-Sea station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement

Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

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.
