How we handle bathroom resealing in Little Bromley
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are damp behind the bath or under the tray and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
Being in a small place like Little Bromley makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Little Bromley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.

What else we do in Little Bromley
Bathrooms and kitchens in Little Bromley
Little Bromley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Manningtree High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Little Bromley
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
For landlords with property near Manningtree station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
