About our bathroom resealing in Oaklands
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Around Oaklands, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Oaklands
Is Oaklands in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Oaklands is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Oaklands within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Oaklands homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Welwyn North station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oaklands Primary School, 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:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
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.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. A visit to Oaklands is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Oaklands
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Oaklands, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
