Bathroom resealing in EH36: how it works

A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We’re often asked to deal with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

• Dry worktop joints after washing up
• Never pick at the silicone with a blade
• Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
• Move toiletries away from the joint

Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.

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

Quotes for bathroom resealing in EH36

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

• When we can work, for business premises
• Which sealant suits the joint
• The number of rooms or windows
• The old material and how stubborn it is

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
