Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
Questions from Gosford
I let a flat near Oxford Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Gosford in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Gosford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Bathroom resealing in Gosford: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint John the Baptist Hall Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.

- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Gosford
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Managing a site like Edward Feild Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
