Bathroom resealing in SS2: how it works
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SS2
In SS2, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Prittlewell, Westcliff-on-Sea and Southchurch to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
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 SS2 is planned around the forecast. Along the coast in SS2, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that’s where sealant usually gives up first. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Southend-on-Sea: Managing a site like Westborough Academy? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Prittlewell station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Landlord and commercial work in SS2
For anyone letting property in or around SS2, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
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.

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
