Our bathroom resealing service in RM17
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints on a shower screen and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take 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.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Around Grays
Typical jobs here are in homes near Grays Convent High School, Quarry Hill Academy and St John the Evangelist. Nearby too are The Traitors Gate pub (0.5 miles south-east) and Thurrock and Basildon College (1 mile east). Grays’s nearest station is Grays station, about 0.6 miles south-west.

Bathrooms and kitchens across RM17
Across RM17, from Grays, Little Thurrock and Chafford Hundred outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in RM17 is planned around the forecast.
Grays: Rented homes near Grays 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 Quarry Hill Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why it fails
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, 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
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Common questions in RM17
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
