About our bathroom resealing in Maldon
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
Around Maldon, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Maldon
Do you take on hotel work around Maldon?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Maldon?
Yes, Maldon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Maldon they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job. For a job in Maldon, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- 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 clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Maldon
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
