Bathroom resealing in Little Laver, done properly
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Little Laver. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with a reseal done over the top of the old bead and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Little Laver are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Why act early in Little Laver
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Little Laver, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
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 ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

What else we do in Little Laver
Bathroom resealing in Little Laver: local notes
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.
Around Little Laver, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Little Laver
Can you do bathroom resealing in Little Laver?
Yes, Little Laver is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Laver?
Yes, Little Laver is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Little Laver.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Little Laver, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
