FAQs for Greensted
Will you come out to Greensted?

Do you cover Greensted for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Greensted is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.

Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Greensted, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Greensted homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chipping Ongar Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greensted
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Around Greensted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When to call us in Greensted
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
If you live in an older home near Greensted Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What affects the quote in Greensted
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
