Bathroom resealing near Mowden

When it isn’t the sealant

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Shower trays & enclosures

How we handle bathroom resealing in Mowden

Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. 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 basins & vanity units, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and black spots spreading through the bead.

Homes around Mowden are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

How the job changes by surface

Basins & vanity units

The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.

Shower trays & enclosures

Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.

Keeping the joints in good condition

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use
  • Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Mowden

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Around Mowden, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Hatfield Peverel 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.

What affects the quote in Mowden

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The type of sealant required

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Helping us quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • The type of property
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Landlords and letting agents in Mowden can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Mowden 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.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Questions from Mowden

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hatfield Peverel station?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.

Is Mowden in your area for bathroom resealing?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mowden is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.

How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?

Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What do you put in the joint?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
