How bathroom resealing works in Essex

A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths.

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

What you’ll pay

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Near you in Colchester

In Colchester, that means homes and buildings near Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House and the streets around them. Nearby too are Colchester Sixth Form College (less than half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (within half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. Other landmarks nearby include Lion Walk (under half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (under half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Colchester include Westhouse Wood.

Where we work in Essex

From Colchester, Chelmsford and Basildon to its smaller places, homes across Essex have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in Essex. Along the coast in Essex, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.

Colchester: In the older streets around Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Colchester Town station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

Wait for the cure time we give you
Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Never pick at the silicone with a blade

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.

A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Leave it or put it right?

Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

The number of rooms or windows
How easy the joints are to reach
Which sealant suits the joint
How much there is to do

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

A few pictures by email, if you can
How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Whether it has been sealed before
Whether it’s a home or a business

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

A tray or bath that is cracked through
A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

How the job changes by surface

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.

Wet rooms

Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
