Bathrooms and kitchens in Foxholes
Foxholes has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Hertford East station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our remedial sealant in Foxholes
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Typical jobs include over-sealed joints coming away and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a smaller place like Foxholes, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need remedial sealant in Foxholes?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you look after a building such as Wheatcroft Primary 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Keep the room well ventilated
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Foxholes is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
