Bathroom Resealing in Broadley Common
We cover Broadley Common for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Broadley Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathroom resealing in Broadley Common, done properly
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with gaps between the worktop and the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
In a village or hamlet like Broadley Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Broadley Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Broadley Common
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.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Roydon station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Schools such as Water Lane Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Broadley Common
I let a flat near Roydon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Broadley Common?
Yes, Broadley Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You will know how long to expect before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Broadley Common?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
