- Water escaping at the shower enclosure

- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Bathroom resealing in Blackboys
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and damp behind the bath or under the tray, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Blackboys, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Blackboys needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Bathroom resealing in Blackboys: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Blackboys questions

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Blackboys in your area for bathroom resealing?

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
