What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Luxted?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
For landlords with property near Chelsfield station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Luxted questions
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Luxted?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chelsfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do 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.
Do you come to Luxted?
Yes. We work in Luxted. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.

What else we do in Luxted
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job. In a London area like Luxted, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Luxted
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. As a London address, Luxted can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
