Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.

Bumble's Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Broxbourne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Bumble's Green?
Yes, Bumble's Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bumble's Green
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Around Bumble's Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Broxbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

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 matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bumble's Green
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bumble's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
