Little Canfield homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Stansted Airport station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as Takeley Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Little Canfield
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Somewhere as small as Little Canfield, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Little Canfield and across Essex. Several sites can be quoted together.
When to call us in Little Canfield
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Little Canfield
Is Little Canfield in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Little Canfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In a small place like Little Canfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Little Canfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
