Bathroom resealing in Shelley
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant that has gone black and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
For a small place like Shelley, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Shelley homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Ongar Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Shelley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Shelley questions

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Shelley?
Yes, Shelley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Shelley, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Shelley
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
