Bathroom resealing in Kelvedon Hatch, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
In a village or hamlet like Kelvedon Hatch, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Kelvedon Hatch, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Kelvedon Hatch homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around New Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Shenfield 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.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Kelvedon Hatch
Is Kelvedon Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Kelvedon Hatch in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Kelvedon Hatch is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the quote in Kelvedon Hatch
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
