Colne Engaine Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Colne Engaine? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Bathroom resealing in Colne Engaine
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a clear price before any work starts. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and splits where the tray meets the wall.
For a small place like Colne Engaine, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Colne Engaine 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.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

What else we do in Colne Engaine
Colne Engaine homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Colne Engaine Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
