Bathroom Resealing in Marks Tey
Bathroom resealing across Marks Tey and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

Somewhere as small as Marks Tey, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Marks Tey needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Marks Tey homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

When to call us in Marks Tey
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For landlords with property near Marks Tey station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marks Tey can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.

- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
