Do you take out the old sealant first?

What do you need from me for a quote?

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Clapgate
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
For a small place like Clapgate, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Clapgate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a small place like Clapgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- 20+ years of sealant experience

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Clapgate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Clapgate
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Letting a property close to Bishops Stortford station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Clapgate homes and their sealant
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 timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
