Longcot Bathroom Resealing
Our applicators work in Longcot on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
What we are called out for in Longcot
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Longcot and Fernham Church of England 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.

Bathroom resealing in Longcot
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help.
For a small place like Longcot, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Longcot
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom from start to finish. In a small place like Longcot, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for 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 clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Do you cover smaller places like Longcot?
Yes, Longcot is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
