What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Dedham Heath
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you are dealing with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and failed sealant on the screen profile, we can put it right, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths alike.
Homes around Dedham Heath are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Dedham Heath
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

For landlords and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases. In a small place like Dedham Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Dedham Heath
Do you cover Dedham Heath for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Dedham Heath is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Manningtree station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, 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 small place like Dedham Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Dedham Heath
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
