Bathroom resealing in Waterhales: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Thomas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Drapers' Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

About our bathroom resealing in Waterhales
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. 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. If you have smears of silicone across the tiles and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Around Waterhales, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Waterhales
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Rented homes near Harold Wood station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Waterhales, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
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’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. In a small place like Waterhales, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
