Bathroom resealing in Boyton Cross, done properly
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
In a village or hamlet like Boyton Cross, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Boyton Cross as everywhere else we work.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Boyton Cross
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Newlands Spring Primary 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. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.

- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.

When to call us in Boyton Cross
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Questions from Boyton Cross
Will you come out to Boyton Cross?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chelmsford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
