Landlords, agents and businesses in Highfield
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Bathroom resealing in Highfield, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Smaller places like Highfield 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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Highfield
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Highfield?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s generally worth it. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hemel Hempstead station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Parking around Highfield is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Highfield: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Hemel Hempstead, which Highfield is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out.
Letting a property close to Hemel Hempstead station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Yewtree Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When to call us in Highfield
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you live in an older home near St Paul's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
