How we handle bathroom resealing in Roydon
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Homes around Roydon are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Roydon, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Roydon
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
In the older streets around St Peter's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What happens if it’s left?
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 will not last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Roydon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

Common questions in Roydon
Do you cover smaller places like Roydon?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Roydon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Roydon
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Roydon station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
