Boxted Cross Bathroom Resealing
Bathroom resealing for Boxted Cross, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. 180+ five-star Google reviews and a 4.9 rating.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
About our bathroom resealing in Boxted Cross
Homes in Boxted Cross have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are smears of silicone across the tiles and black spots spreading through the bead.
For a small place like Boxted Cross, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Boxted Cross
What happens if it’s left?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boxted Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Bathroom resealing in Boxted Cross: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boxted St Peter's Church of England School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Colchester station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Near you in Boxted Cross
Around Boxted Cross, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Shepherd and Dog pub and the streets around them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What affects the quote in Boxted Cross
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Boxted Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
