Bathroom & kitchen resealing in North Looe, Surrey
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in North Looe? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Bathroom resealing in North Looe, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. 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. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as North Looe, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
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.

Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line does not stand out.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like North Looe, 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 are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
North Looe questions
Will you come out to North Looe?
Yes. North Looe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in North Looe?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in North Looe
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
In the older streets around St John's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why act early in North Looe
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Looe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
