- Black spots spreading through the bead
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Colney Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Bathroom resealing in Colney Street
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and smears of silicone across the tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Colney Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Colney Street
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we’re called out for in Colney Street
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What bathroom resealing looks like in Colney Street
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.
Letting a property close to How Wood station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Park Street Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then 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.

FAQs for Colney Street
Can you do bathroom resealing in Colney Street?
Yes, Colney Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers 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 How Wood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Colney Street?
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. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Colney Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
