Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Loudwater, Hertfordshire
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Loudwater, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Loudwater
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Typical jobs include splits where the tray meets the wall and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Loudwater, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Common problems we fix in Loudwater
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Schools such as Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Bathroom resealing in Loudwater: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Rickmansworth station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Loudwater
Is Loudwater within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Rickmansworth station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
