About our bath resealing in Colney Street
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath resealing in Colney Street
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant

What affects the price in Colney Street
We do not charge extra for travel to Colney Street. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Colney Street: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do you work in Colney Street?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Colney Street and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
