- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Kelvedon
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear quote before any work starts. If you have water escaping at the shower enclosure and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
In and around Kelvedon, 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?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Parking around Kelvedon is normally 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’re 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Kelvedon: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kelvedon station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Kelvedon in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kelvedon is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
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 before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
What we are called out for in Kelvedon
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Rented homes near Kelvedon 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.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kelvedon
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Kelvedon St Mary's Church of England Primary Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
