Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Stratford St Mary, Essex
Baths, showers and worktops in Stratford St Mary need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Bathroom resealing in Stratford St Mary
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have smears of silicone across the tiles and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Around Stratford St Mary, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Stratford St Mary
Bathroom resealing around Stratford St Mary
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Stratford St Mary Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Manningtree station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Questions from Stratford St Mary
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Manningtree station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Stratford St Mary within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Do not 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Stratford St Mary, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
