DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Chesham
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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
Plenty of homes in a town like Chesham have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Questions from Chesham
Do you cover Chesham for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Chesham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Amersham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chesham
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Landlords and agents in Chesham can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Common problems we fix in Chesham
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.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as Elmtree Infant and Nursery School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a job in Chesham, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Chesham homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Amersham station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
