Bathroom resealing in Wethersfield
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. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Around Wethersfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Wethersfield and everywhere else we cover.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Wethersfield
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.
Around Wethersfield, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near United Reformed Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Wethersfield, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Why act early in Wethersfield
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wethersfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Wethersfield
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- The type of property
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Wethersfield
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t 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.
