How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Housham Tye, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Housham Tye
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Harlow Mill station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Common problems we fix in Housham Tye
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you look after a building such as Mark Hall School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What affects the quote in Housham Tye
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Housham Tye, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
