Common questions in High Cross
Is High Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. High Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ware station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What affects the quote in High Cross
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
When to call us in High Cross
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as High Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
Bathroom resealing in High Cross: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Thundridge Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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. If you let a flat or house near Ware station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
