About bathroom resealing in IG6
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for a reseal done over the top of the old bead and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is and we leave things clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
What you will pay
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Nearby too are The New Fairlop Oak pub (within half a mile south) and Fairlop Waters (0.8 miles east). The closest station to Fairlop is Seven Kings station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre.

Where we work in IG6
Across IG6, from Chigwell, Newbury Park and Fairlop 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 IG6, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Fairlop: Rented homes near Seven Kings station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fairlop Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Questions from IG6
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you cover IG6?
Yes. We work in IG6 and the rest of Essex. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
