Bathroom resealing in Brentwood, 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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
Homes around Brentwood have been extended and refitted over the decades. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Brentwood and everywhere else we cover.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Brentwood they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is in most cases. In Brentwood, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What affects the quote in Brentwood
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Brentwood questions
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Brentwood?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Brentwood for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Brentwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Bathroom resealing in Brentwood: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Becket Keys Church of England School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Thomas of Canterbury include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
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.
When to call us in Brentwood
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Rented homes near Brentwood station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
