Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Thundridge, Hertfordshire
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Thundridge? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
About our bathroom resealing in Thundridge
Across Thundridge, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath panel and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Somewhere as small as Thundridge, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Thundridge
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For landlords with property near Ware station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What affects the quote in Thundridge
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- 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 send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Bathroom resealing around Thundridge
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thundridge Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Thundridge, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
