- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Latchingdon, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we handle bathroom resealing in Latchingdon
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and we’ll give you a clear price before any work starts. Typical jobs include cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and damp behind the bath or under the tray, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Somewhere as small as Latchingdon, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Latchingdon and across Essex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Latchingdon
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Around Latchingdon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

When to call us in Latchingdon
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 most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Rented homes near Althorne station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Latchingdon homes and their sealant
Latchingdon is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
