Our bathroom resealing service in SS17
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and two layers of silicone, both failing.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SS17
From Stanford-le-Hope, Balstonia and Corringham to its smaller places, homes across SS17 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.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in SS17 is planned around the forecast. In the coastal parts of SS17, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that’s where sealant normally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Stanford-le-Hope: If you look after a building such as Arthur Bugler Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in SS17 and across Thurrock. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Common questions in SS17
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
