What we are called out for in Sandridge
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandridge School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our bathroom resealing in Sandridge
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water escaping at the shower enclosure and splits where the tray meets the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Sandridge, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Sandridge, 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.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height

- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Sandridge
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.
In the older streets around St Leonard's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near St Albans station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
