Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Howe Street, Essex
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Howe Street? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Bathroom resealing around Howe Street
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.
Rented homes near Beaulieu Park station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near Church of SS Mary and Laurence, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Howe Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Howe Street
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
If you look after a building such as Chelmer Valley High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Howe Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
