Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Great Dunmow, Essex
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Great Dunmow? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
About our bathroom resealing in Great Dunmow
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Even in a smaller place like Great Dunmow, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we are called out for in Great Dunmow
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
The most common problems we see are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Great Dunmow
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

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.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Great Dunmow is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Great Dunmow: your questions answered
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Great Dunmow?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
