Bathroom resealing in Great Braxted, done properly
Across Great Braxted, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
Around Great Braxted, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Great Braxted
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Great Braxted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Great Braxted: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Braxted?

Do you work for landlords with property near Witham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
What we are called out for in Great Braxted
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you let a flat or house near Witham station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Great Braxted, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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 are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
