About our bathroom resealing in Redbourn
Homes in Redbourn have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you have black spots spreading through the bead and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, we can put it right.
Even in a smaller place like Redbourn, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
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 phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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.
Bathroom resealing around Redbourn
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Redbourn 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. Rented homes near Harpenden 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.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Redbourn
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
In the older streets around Mount Zion Evangelical Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll 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. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Redbourn, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
