Bathroom resealing across AL1: what to expect
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead.
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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 are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

What’s near St Albans
Around St Albans, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Horn pub, Alban City School and Verulam School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St. Peter (under half a mile north-west), Loreto College (less than half a mile north) and Clarence Park (within half a mile east). There’s a railway station in St Albans itself: St Albans station. Well-known places in the area include St Albans Musical Museum (0.5 miles north-east) and The Maltings (under half a mile west). Open spaces near St Albans include The Wick Local Nature Reserve and Verulamium Lake.
Bathrooms and kitchens across AL1
Our bathroom resealing work across AL1 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in St Albans, Bernards Heath and London Colney and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.
St Albans: Rented homes near St Albans station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in AL1
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you.

Surface by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in AL1
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
