Bathroom resealing in BN43: how it works

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

• Never pick at the silicone with a blade
• Wipe the sealant dry after showering
• Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
• Wipe up water along the back of the worktop

Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
