How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
About our bathroom resealing in Apsley End
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you’re dealing with gaps between the worktop and the wall and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Homes around Apsley End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Apsley End
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Apsley End?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Apsley End within the area you cover?
Yes. Apsley End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Bathroom resealing in Apsley End: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shillington Lower School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Apsley End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
