How we handle bathroom resealing in South Heath
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In a village or hamlet like South Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as South Heath, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

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.
