Boxmoor is one of 381 towns and villages in Hertfordshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Boxmoor to London (24 miles away).

All of HP1, HP3 and HP2 is within our area. That includes homes on Cardy Road, Heath Lane and London Road. Main roads around Boxmoor include the A4251, which makes travel easy.

Bath resealing in Boxmoor, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Boxmoor

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Boxmoor?

We do. We send a technician to Boxmoor for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Boxmoor

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Boxmoor

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boxmoor use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
