Your questions about bathroom resealing in Boxted
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Colchester station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Boxted?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Boxted
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include damp behind the bath or under the tray and splits where the tray meets the wall, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Boxted, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Boxted
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Colchester station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line does not stand out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Boxted
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boxted St Peter's Church of England School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Boxted
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
