Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Puttock's End
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include splits where the tray meets the wall and black spots spreading through the bead, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
Homes around Puttock's End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Puttock's End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Puttock's End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Common problems we fix in Puttock's End
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Rented homes near Stansted Airport 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.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
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.
