Bathroom resealing in Brook Street

Why deal with it now?

Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brook Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathroom resealing in Brook Street

A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Common call-outs are for damp behind the bath or under the tray and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.

Around Brook Street, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Brook Street homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Holly Trees Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Brentwood station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

When something else is needed

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

How to look after the new joints

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Give the silicone its full cure time
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

Watch for the early signs: 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 affects the cost of bathroom resealing

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The product the joint needs
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

What to tell us for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • The type of property
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The rough size of the job

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Can I do it myself?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The process

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom from start to finish. Somewhere like Brook Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
  4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
