What we are called out for in Navestock Common
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
If you live in an older home near Church of St Thomas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we handle bathroom resealing in Navestock Common
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. If you have lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can put it right, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Around Navestock Common, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Navestock Common
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In a small place like Navestock Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Navestock Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Navestock Common
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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
