How we handle bathroom resealing in Boxmoor
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and water getting behind the bath panel.
In a smaller place like Boxmoor, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Boxmoor
Should the sealant in an older Boxmoor home be renewed?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Do you cover smaller places like Boxmoor?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Boxmoor is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a 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
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
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, turning a small job into a building repair. In a smaller place like Boxmoor, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Boxmoor
Boxmoor is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Hemel Hempstead station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boxmoor Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist and Attached Church Hall include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
