Common problems we fix in Doddinghurst Common
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
For an older house near a landmark such as New Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Doddinghurst Common
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Doddinghurst Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Schools such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School 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.

What affects the quote in Doddinghurst Common
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Doddinghurst Common questions

I let a flat near Shenfield station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
