Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Appspond, Hertfordshire
Baths, showers and worktops in Appspond need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Bathroom resealing in Appspond, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include black spots spreading through the bead and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
Being in a small place like Appspond makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Appspond
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Appspond, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Questions from Appspond
Will you come out to Appspond?
Yes, Appspond is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near St Albans Abbey station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Why act early in Appspond
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In a small place like Appspond, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We are fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Appspond
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Marlborough Science Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common problems we fix in Appspond
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
If you let a flat or house near St Albans Abbey station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
