About bathroom resealing in CM18

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Where we work in CM18

Homes across CM18 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Harlow, Little Parndon and Bush Fair. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials.

Bush Fair: For landlords with property near Harlow Town station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near St Stephen, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
  • A tray or bath that is cracked through

Quotes for bathroom resealing in CM18

You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The amount of work
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Which sealant suits the joint

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Helping us quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

DIY versus a professional finish

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if it’s left?

A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.

What your quote should include

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
