Bathroom resealing across CO12: what to expect
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and we’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bathroom resealing across CO12: local notes
From Harwich, Great Oakley and Parkeston to its smaller places, homes across CO12 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.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in CO12. Along the coast in CO12, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.
Harwich: If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Harwich and Dovercourt High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
