Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathroom resealing in Clavering
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
Somewhere as small as Clavering, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

What affects the quote in Clavering
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Why act early in Clavering
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clavering can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Clavering questions
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Clavering?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Clavering is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Clavering, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
