Bathroom resealing in Buntingford, done properly
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about black spots spreading through the bead and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Even in a smaller place like Buntingford, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. In a smaller place like Buntingford, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Buntingford homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common questions in Buntingford
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Buntingford?
All our work, in Buntingford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Buntingford?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You’ll know how long to expect before we start.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buntingford
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. A visit to Buntingford 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Buntingford
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Millfield First and Nursery 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.
