About our bathroom resealing in Bernards Heath
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
In a smaller place like Bernards Heath, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Bernards Heath
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. A visit to Bernards Heath 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.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Bathroom resealing around Bernards Heath
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bernards Heath. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Garden Fields Junior Mixed and Infant 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 Church of St Saviour include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

When to call us in Bernards Heath
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For landlords with property near St Albans station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?

- Whether you can choose the colour

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
