Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Hatfield Broad Oak
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 neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and splits where the tray meets the wall, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
Around Hatfield Broad Oak, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Hatfield Broad Oak can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we’re called out for in Hatfield Broad Oak
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Hatfield Broad Oak, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- 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.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
