How we handle bathroom resealing in Boxford
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We’re often asked to deal with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms.
For a small place like Boxford, 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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Boxford homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Kintbury station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Boxford questions
Do you cover Boxford for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Boxford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Boxford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When to call us in Boxford
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Homes close to Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boxford
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Boxford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
