Bathroom resealing in Galleywood

A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. If you have a reseal done over the top of the old bead and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can help.

Homes around Galleywood range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Bathroom resealing around Galleywood

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Letting a property close to Chelmsford station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like St Michael's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Access and height
  • When we can work, for business premises

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • The type of property
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • The address or postcode of the job

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.

For landlords and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.

What sealant work can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • A tray or bath that is cracked through
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands

Why it’s worth doing now in Galleywood

Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Homes in smaller places like Galleywood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

FAQs for Galleywood

Will you come out to Galleywood?

Yes. Galleywood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?

It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.

Can I do it myself?

Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Is it messy?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.

The process

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Galleywood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Mention any tricky access

How the job changes by surface

Baths

Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
