Our bathroom resealing service in AL3
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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.
What affects the price in AL3
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bathrooms and kitchens across AL3
Across AL3, from St Albans, Bernards Heath and Marshalswick outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in AL3 is planned around the forecast.
Bernards Heath: If you live in an older home near Church of St Saviour, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Garden Fields Junior Mixed and Infant School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
For anyone letting property in or around AL3, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Why it fails
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
