Questions from Magdalen Laver
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harlow Mill station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Magdalen Laver?
Yes, Magdalen Laver is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
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. We always take the old sealant out completely.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What we’re called out for in Magdalen Laver
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
If you let a flat or house near Harlow Mill station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What guarantee comes with the work
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Magdalen Laver needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Other services in Magdalen Laver
Surface by surface
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.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Magdalen Laver homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
