Bathroom resealing in Tendring

The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

In a village or hamlet like Tendring, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Leave it or put it right?

Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Around Tendring, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

There’s no set price list. What we look at:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Access and height
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • How many areas need sealing

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • The rough size of the job

Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Tendring

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as Tendring 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 Edmund include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

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.

What we do, step by step

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Tendring, 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.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Is Tendring within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Surface by surface

Basins & vanity units

On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Shower trays & enclosures

Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.

Keeping the joints in good condition

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering

Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

When to call us in Tendring

Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting

If you let a flat or house near Weeley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
