How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Goldhanger, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Goldhanger: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Goldhanger?
All our work, in Goldhanger and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Goldhanger within the area you cover?
Yes. Goldhanger is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Essex.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Goldhanger
Goldhanger is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. In and around Goldhanger, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
