Bathroom resealing in CM13: how it works

Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and leaking joints on a shower screen.

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on how much there is to do.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across CM13: local notes

From Brentwood, Great Berry and Hutton Mount to its smaller places, homes across CM13 have 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. Whatever the job in CM13, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Brentwood: Schools such as Becket Keys Church of England 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. Homes close to Church of St Thomas of Canterbury include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether the work is at height
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The size of the job

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The rough size of the job
  • The address or postcode of the job

Landlords, agents and businesses in CM13

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:

  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then

Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Surface by surface

Wet rooms

A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.

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.

FAQs for CM13

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?

White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?

Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured.
