Bathroom resealing in Great Burstead

Bathroom resealing in Great Burstead

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and water getting behind the bath panel.

Around Great Burstead, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Bathroom resealing around Great Burstead

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Letting a property close to Billericay station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Mary Magdalene, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Different surfaces, different methods

Basins & vanity units

Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Wet rooms

If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.

The process

There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Great Burstead, 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.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why deal with it now?

Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Great Burstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What you get with us

  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • Colour agreed with you before any work starts
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • Homes, businesses and hotels

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade
  • Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower

Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.

Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Great Burstead

The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal

Managing a site like St Peter's Catholic Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
