Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Chase Cross, Essex
We cover Chase Cross for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Bathroom resealing in Chase Cross, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you are dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can help, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Smaller places like Chase Cross still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Chase Cross and across Essex.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Questions from Chase Cross
Will you come out to Chase Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Gidea Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Chase Cross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Bower Park Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Gidea Park station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

When to call us in Chase Cross
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Homes close to St James include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why act early in Chase Cross
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a smaller place like Chase Cross, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a job in Chase Cross, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
