Bathroom resealing in Kingston Bagpuize

Why act early in Kingston Bagpuize

A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In a smaller place like Kingston Bagpuize, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Bathroom resealing in Kingston Bagpuize, done properly

Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We’re often asked to deal with smears of silicone across the tiles and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.

Homes around Kingston Bagpuize range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Kingston Bagpuize

Will you come out to Kingston Bagpuize?

Yes. Kingston Bagpuize is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Kingston Bagpuize?

All our work, in Kingston Bagpuize and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Is it messy?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?

Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

Which products do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a smaller place like Kingston Bagpuize, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Preparing for the visit

Surface by surface

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.

Baths

The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Kingston Bagpuize homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Blandy Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Kingston Bagpuize?

Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.

Look out for these signs:

  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
  • Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Leaking joints on a shower screen

In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
