Bathroom resealing around Graveley
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 Stevenage station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

About our bathroom resealing in Graveley
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. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
Around Graveley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
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.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In a small place like Graveley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Graveley
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Schools such as Graveley Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What affects the quote in Graveley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

- Whether there’s mould to deal with

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Graveley?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Graveley, 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.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
