How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Wimbish
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath panel and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
Somewhere as small as Wimbish, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Wimbish, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Leave it or put it right?
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, and it’s harder to put right later. In a small place like Wimbish, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Wimbish clients choose us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

Questions from Wimbish
Will you come out to Wimbish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Wimbish
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
In the older streets around St Paul's Mission Room, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Bathroom resealing in Wimbish: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wimbish Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
