Bath Resealing in Handcross
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Handcross, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing in Handcross, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common questions in Handcross
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH17 postcode.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Handcross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Handcross
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
