Bathroom resealing in RM3: how it works
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- 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.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Where we work in RM3
From Harold Wood, Gallows Corner and Harold Park to its smaller places, homes across RM3 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. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.
Harold Wood: Rented homes near Harold Wood station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Schools such as Redden Court School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Landlords, agents and businesses in RM3

Letting agents and landlords in RM3 can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Common questions in RM3
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
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.
