Bathroom resealing in Rickling Green
Across Rickling Green, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Homes around Rickling Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Rickling Green
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Rickling Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
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.
What we’re called out for in Rickling Green
Baths and trays move. 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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Homes close to Church of Quendon include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What affects the quote in Rickling Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Rickling Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
