Questions from Bower Heath
Is Bower Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harpenden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Bathroom resealing in Bower Heath
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 have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bower Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Bower Heath
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you live in an older home near All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Bower Heath
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Sauncey Wood Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Harpenden station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Bower Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
