Lee-over-Sands homes and their sealant
Lee-over-Sands is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Clacton-On-Sea station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What else we do in Lee-over-Sands
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
Why act early in Lee-over-Sands
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. 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 Lee-over-Sands, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What we’re called out for in Lee-over-Sands
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Around Lee-over-Sands, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Lee-over-Sands needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
