Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harpenden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
Allow half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. You’ll know how long to expect before any work starts.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Bathroom resealing in Childwick Green
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have a reseal done over the top of the old bead and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can help.
Around Childwick Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the quote in Childwick Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Childwick Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Landlord and commercial work in Childwick Green
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Bathroom resealing in Childwick Green: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Harpenden station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

When to call us in Childwick Green
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Townsend Church of England School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in Childwick Green
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Childwick Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
