What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Shenleybury
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.
Managing a site like Clore Shalom School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Radlett station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to St Botolphs include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

FAQs for Shenleybury
Will you come out to Shenleybury?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Shenleybury?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shenleybury is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Hertfordshire.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Shenleybury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

What else we do in Shenleybury
Landlord and commercial work in Shenleybury
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Shenleybury and across Hertfordshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
