How we handle bathroom resealing in Lamb Corner
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
In a village or hamlet like Lamb Corner, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Bathroom resealing in Lamb Corner: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Manningtree station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lamb Corner
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. Around Lamb Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Lamb Corner, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re 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.
- 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 stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

FAQs for Lamb Corner
Do you work for landlords with property near Manningtree station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lamb Corner?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. You will know how long to expect before any work starts.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Common problems we fix in Lamb Corner
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Schools such as Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the colour is chosen
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
