Bathroom resealing in CM0: how it works
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots spreading through the bead and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across CM0: local notes
Across CM0, from Maldon, Burnham-on-Crouch and Southminster outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in CM0, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Along the coast in CM0, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Burnham-on-Crouch: Rented homes near Burnham-On-Crouch station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you look after a building such as Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School, 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.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
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.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
Why it fails
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
CM0: your questions answered
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
