What happens if it’s left?
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, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swallows Cross can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

FAQs for Swallows Cross
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ingatestone station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Swallows Cross?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Swallows Cross
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Managing a site like Shenfield High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
