How we handle bathroom resealing in Westwick Row
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with gaps between the worktop and the wall and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Westwick Row are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Westwick Row
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Westwick Row, 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, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Why act early in Westwick Row
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In a small place like Westwick Row, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

Westwick Row: your questions answered
I let a flat near Apsley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do older homes in Westwick Row need their sealant replacing?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Bathroom resealing around Westwick Row
Westwick Row is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Apsley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
