- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Newnham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- 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, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Newnham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathroom resealing around Newnham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Vincent, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like The Knights Templar School? Then 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.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wait for the cure time we give you
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Newnham
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Rented homes near Baldock station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Baldock station?

What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
