About our bathroom resealing in Little Leighs
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you are dealing with a reseal done over the top of the old bead and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, we can put it right.
Around Little Leighs, it’s 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: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Little Leighs and everywhere else we cover.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)

Little Leighs homes and their sealant
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 John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Great Leighs 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 it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Little Leighs needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. 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.
Little Leighs questions
Can you do bathroom resealing in Little Leighs?
Yes, Little Leighs is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Little Leighs within the area you cover?
Yes. Little Leighs is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Little Leighs?
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
