Bathroom resealing across CM3: what to expect
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and we will send you a clear quote before any work starts. We’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaking joints on a shower screen, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
How we quote
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why clients in CM3 choose us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Bathrooms and kitchens across CM3
Across CM3, from Chelmsford, Maldon and South Woodham Ferrers 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.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in CM3. Along the coast in CM3, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
South Woodham Ferrers: If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near South Woodham Ferrers station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Why act early?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
CM3: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
