Bathroom resealing across EH51: what to expect

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and mouldy sealant that has gone black.

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
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. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

How to look after the new joints

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

• Wait for the cure time we give you
• Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
• Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
• Never pick at the silicone with a blade

Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

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.
