Leave it or put it right?

Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Staines Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

When it is not the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands

The process

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Staines Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Before we arrive

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Should I try it myself first?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Staines Green

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and St John, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Hertford North station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What the job involves on each surface

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.

Wet rooms

If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower

Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

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.
