How the visit works

Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Bradfield Heath, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Bradfield Heath

Across Bradfield Heath, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: 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 baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and smears of silicone across the tiles.

In a village or hamlet like Bradfield Heath, 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.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Bathroom resealing in Bradfield Heath: local notes

Bradfield Heath is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bradfield 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.

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth

Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.

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.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Wet rooms

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bradfield Heath, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Surface by surface

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Wet rooms

Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Bradfield Heath

Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water escaping at the shower enclosure
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop

Rented homes near Mistley station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Before booking anyone

  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • What preparation is included
  • Are they insured?
  • Who turns up on the day
