Bathroom resealing in Tendring Heath
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
Homes around Tendring Heath are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Tendring Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send 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.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

Questions from Tendring Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Weeley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Tendring Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Tendring Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Tendring Heath
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Weeley station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
