Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Horndon on the Hill
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We’re often asked to deal with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and smears of silicone across the tiles, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths.
For a small place like Horndon on the Hill, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Around Horndon on the Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
