Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sewards End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathroom resealing in Sewards End, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. 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 wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
For a small place like Sewards End, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Sewards End and across Essex.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Sewards End: your questions answered
Is Sewards End in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sewards End is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Audley End station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. 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 any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Sewards End, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
What we are called out for in Sewards End
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Letting a property close to Audley End station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What else we do in Sewards End
Bathrooms and kitchens in Sewards End
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.
Homes close to St James' Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Saffron Walden County High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
