Bathroom resealing in Shenley
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Shenley. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
In and around Shenley, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Shenley questions
Is Shenley in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shenley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is Shenley within the area you cover?
Yes, Shenley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Shenley
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Shenley, 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.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a smaller place like Shenley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Shenley homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shenley Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Radlett station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
