- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Rettendon?
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Letting a property close to Battlesbridge station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work

Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rettendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. In a small place like Rettendon, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
