Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
  • Move toiletries away from the joint

Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

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.

DIY versus a professional finish

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

When to call us in Rowhook

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farlington School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Before you book anyone

  • Is the old sealant removed completely?

  • How long the guarantee is

Choosing a sealant specialist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rowhook

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface

Baths

Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.

Why deal with it now?

A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a small place like Rowhook, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Why us?

  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

The process

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Rowhook, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  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. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Questions from Rowhook

Do you cover Rowhook for bathroom resealing?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rowhook is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Rowhook?

Yes, Rowhook is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?

You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.

Should I try DIY first?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Do you hold any approvals?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

What do you need from me for a quote?
