How we handle bathroom resealing in Longfield
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water getting behind the bath panel, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Around Longfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Longfield
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Longfield Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

How the job changes by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Longfield
Will you come out to Longfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Longfield for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Longfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Longfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. In a small place like Longfield, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
