About bathroom resealing in MK5
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Typical jobs include cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- 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, normally after around 24 hours.
How we quote
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Bathroom resealing across MK5: local notes
Across MK5, from Westcroft, Shenley Church End and Loughton 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.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across MK5 is planned around the weather.
Shenley Church End: Homes close to St. Mary's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Glastonbury Thorn School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
Signs you need bathroom resealing
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in MK5
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
