Cow Roast Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Cow Roast, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Cow Roast
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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
Being in a small place like Cow Roast makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Cow Roast homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Tring station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Tring School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
When to call us in Cow Roast
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew (church of England), bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a small place like Cow Roast, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Cow Roast, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Questions from Cow Roast
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tring station?

Is Cow Roast in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Cow Roast is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
For landlords 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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
