DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, 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.

When to call us in Blackhill
In an accessible wet room, water spreads across the floor every use, so the joints at floor level are under water often. A failed joint there can soon let water into the floor or walls.
The most common problems we see are:
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
For jobs in and around Blackhill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Blackhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- We agree when we’ll work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they can be arranged.
- Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Can you match the sealant colour?

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
How soon can a room be used after resealing?

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Report broken fans quickly
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
Ask staff to report splits or lifting sealant early. Catching one split early can save a leak later.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, and only replacement fixes it.
