- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Stapleford Abbotts, 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.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

About our bathroom resealing in Stapleford Abbotts
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Stapleford Abbotts makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

- Which sealant suits the joint

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What we are called out for in Stapleford Abbotts
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Look out for these signs:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Comparing quotes
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Landlord and commercial work in Stapleford Abbotts
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
