Stratherrick Bathroom Resealing

Bathroom resealing in Stratherrick, done properly

The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.

For a place like Stratherrick, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Stratherrick need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.

1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.

How to look after the new joints

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

• Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
• Squeegee the walls and tray after use
• Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
• Keep bottles off the sealant line

In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
