Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Great Bentley, Essex
Baths, showers and worktops in Great Bentley need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Bathroom resealing in Great Bentley, done properly
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Homes around Great Bentley range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

FAQs for Great Bentley
I let a flat near Great Bentley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Great Bentley?
Yes, Great Bentley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Bathroom resealing around Great Bentley
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Bentley Primary School, 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. Rented homes near Great Bentley station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, including the tidy-up. Parking around Great Bentley is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In an older home around Great Bentley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
