Little Bentley Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Little Bentley, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Little Bentley, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Bathroom resealing in Little Bentley
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. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and two layers of silicone, both failing, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Little Bentley makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why act early in Little Bentley
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. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Bentley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What we are called out for in Little Bentley
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For landlords with property near Great Bentley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Little Bentley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up 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 Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
