How we handle bathroom resealing in Dial Post
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Dial Post, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom for a typical job. Somewhere like Dial Post 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 are 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dial Post
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dial Post can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Dial Post?
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For jobs in and around Dial Post, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
