Your questions about bathroom resealing in Jockey End
Do you cover Jockey End for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Jockey End is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is Jockey End within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
About our bathroom resealing in Jockey End
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We are often asked to deal with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
For a small place like Jockey End, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. Around Jockey End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Jockey End clients choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Jockey End homes and their sealant
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.
Schools such as Gaddesden Row JMI School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Berkhamsted station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Jockey End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. 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.
