Bathroom resealing in Ardleigh
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you have sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Ardleigh, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Ardleigh
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
FAQs for Ardleigh
Is Ardleigh in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ardleigh is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Ardleigh?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Ardleigh, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ardleigh
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
