Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Digswell
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. If you have a second bead peeling off the first and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Digswell range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Digswell: your questions answered
I let a flat near Welwyn North station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Digswell?
Yes, Digswell is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Digswell is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Digswell
Welwyn Garden City, which Digswell is part of, was laid out as a garden city in the early twentieth century. Homes range from early twentieth-century houses to later estates, so bathrooms and kitchens of every age need their sealant and grout renewing. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Digswell. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harwood Hill Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School, 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. If you let a flat or house near Welwyn North station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Digswell Village Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a smaller place like Digswell, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
