Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Can tenants book the work?

Bathroom resealing in Takeley Street: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Roseacres Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Takeley Street 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. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
When to call us in Takeley Street
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
