About our bathroom resealing in Thaxted
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have water getting behind the kitchen upstand and two layers of silicone, both failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Even in a smaller place like Thaxted, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Thaxted: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Thaxted?
All our work, in Thaxted and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Thaxted within the area you cover?
Yes. Thaxted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thaxted
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
For anyone letting property in or around Thaxted, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking around Thaxted is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Thaxted
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
