Bathroom resealing for Ridge homes and businesses

About our bathroom resealing in Ridge

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you’re dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can help.

For a small place like Ridge, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Ridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The number of rooms or windows

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • How we’d reach the joints

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Ridge homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you let a flat or house near Potters Bar 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 St Giles' CofE 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. If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.

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. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ridge

The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Ridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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 us?

  • Every job guaranteed for a year
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

When something else is needed

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
