What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
About our bathroom resealing in Berners Roding
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can help.
For a small place like Berners Roding, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Berners Roding: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Berners Roding?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Berners Roding?
Yes, Berners Roding is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Berners Roding, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Berners Roding can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
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.
Bathroom resealing in Berners Roding: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Christopher Willingale Doe, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. In and around Berners Roding, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
