Bathroom resealing in Lilyvale, done properly
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are damp behind the bath or under the tray and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Homes around Lilyvale are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What we are called out for in Lilyvale
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lilyvale can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
