How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Thundersley, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Thundersley
Across Thundersley, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Plenty of homes in a town like Thundersley have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in Thundersley
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Worktop joints fail quietly. 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.
Common problems we fix in Thundersley
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Letting a property close to Rayleigh station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Tiles that have come away from the wall

Bathroom resealing in Thundersley: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thundersley Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

FAQs for Thundersley
Is Thundersley in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Thundersley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Rayleigh station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
