Bathrooms and kitchens in Tiptree
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Luke, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Luke's Church of England Controlled Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In an older home around Tiptree, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Tiptree
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For landlords with property near Kelvedon station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. A visit to Tiptree is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What affects the quote in Tiptree
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
