Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Benslow
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. If you have mouldy sealant that has gone black and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Even in a smaller place like Benslow, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In an older home around Benslow, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

When to call us in Benslow
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally will not clean off.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For landlords with property near Hitchin station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Benslow is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
