About our bathroom resealing in Widford
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant that has gone black and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Being in a small place like Widford makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Widford and everywhere else we cover.

Widford: your questions answered
Do you cover Widford for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Widford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Widford?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Widford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What we’re called out for in Widford
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Widford homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Chelmsford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Mildmay Junior School 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.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Widford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
