Common problems we fix in Colney Butts
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you let a flat or house near Watford High Street station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Colney Butts
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We’re often asked to deal with failed sealant on the screen profile and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Around Colney Butts, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Bathroom resealing in Colney Butts: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Colney Butts. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Watford Grammar School for Girls are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

Questions from Colney Butts
Do you work for landlords with property near Watford High Street station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Colney Butts?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
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.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a smaller place like Colney Butts, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
