Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
