What bathroom resealing looks like in Tilty
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

About our bathroom resealing in Tilty
Across Tilty, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right.
Homes around Tilty are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Tilty
Do you work for landlords with property near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Tilty?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tilty
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. Around Tilty, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Tilty, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Tilty
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
