Our bathroom resealing service in WD7
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and we’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Where we work in WD7
Across WD7, from Radlett, Shenley and Colney Street outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in WD7, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Radlett: Schools such as St John's Church of England Infant and Nursery School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Radlett station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
