Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Bathroom resealing in Codicote Bottom
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We are often asked to deal with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water getting behind the bath panel, across sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Around Codicote Bottom, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Codicote Bottom, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Kitchen worktops & upstands

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Codicote Bottom
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Codicote Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Rented homes near Welwyn North station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Giles, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.

- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
