About our bathroom resealing in Garston
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have water escaping at the shower enclosure and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Smaller places like Garston still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a smaller place like Garston, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Baths

Landlord and commercial work in Garston
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wait for the cure time we give you
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Garston questions
Is Garston within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Garston station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What we are called out for in Garston
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Schools such as The Grove Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Garston
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Garston station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Stanborough Park Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What’s near Garston

Well-known places in the area include Leavesden Hospital (1.4 miles north-west) and Charter Place (2.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Longspring Wood and Verulamium Lake.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. In a smaller place like Garston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
