Rook End Bathroom Resealing

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Rook End

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have leaks into the floor or ceiling below and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Homes around Rook End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Rook End, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

• Give the silicone its full cure time
• Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
• Never pick at the silicone with a blade
• Dry the bead with a towel now and then

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.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
