About our bathroom resealing in Clatterford End
Homes in Clatterford End have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.
Being in a small place like Clatterford End makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Clatterford End and everywhere else we cover.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Clatterford End, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
When to call us in Clatterford End
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually will not clean off.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Schools such as The Ongar Academy are buildings too, and 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.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
