Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Blake End
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right.
Around Blake End, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Blake End: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Braintree station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Blake End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a village or hamlet like Blake End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Blake End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
