What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
About our bathroom resealing in Aston End
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
Around Aston End, it’s 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Aston End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aston End
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Aston End can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a small place like Aston End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Aston End
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Stevenage, which Aston End is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out.
Letting a property close to Stevenage station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ashtree Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aston End questions
Do you cover smaller places like Aston End?
Yes, Aston End is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Aston End?

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
