Great Notley Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Great Notley? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Bathroom resealing in Great Notley, done properly
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Common call-outs are for gaps between the worktop and the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
In and around Great Notley, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

When to call us in Great Notley
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
In the older streets around The Church in Great Notley, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. Parking around Great Notley 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
