About our bathroom resealing in Langley
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Being in a small place like Langley makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Langley
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, 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. Somewhere like Langley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Bathrooms and kitchens in Langley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Audley End station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Common questions in Langley
Is Langley in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Langley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Langley?
Yes, Langley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
