Purleigh Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Purleigh? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms

About our bathroom resealing in Purleigh
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a reseal done over the top of the old bead and water getting behind the bath panel.
For a small place like Purleigh, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Purleigh and across Essex.

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Bathroom resealing in Purleigh: local notes
Purleigh is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you look after a building such as Purleigh Community Primary School, 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. Homes close to Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near North Fambridge 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.

Common questions in Purleigh
I let a flat near North Fambridge station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Purleigh?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Purleigh is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Purleigh, the journey is planned in advance: 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, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
