Cattawade Bathroom Resealing
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Cattawade and across Essex. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Cattawade, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Bathroom resealing in Cattawade, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Cattawade, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Bathroom resealing around Cattawade
Cattawade is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brooklands 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 let a flat or house near Manningtree station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Common problems we fix in Cattawade
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Cattawade, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Cattawade, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
