How bathroom resealing works in EN6
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across EN6: local notes
In EN6, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Potters Bar, Cuffley and Brookmans Park to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.
Potters Bar: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ladbrooke Junior Mixed and Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For landlords with property near Potters Bar station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Why it fails
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Failed grout lines across the wall
What happens if it’s left?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
Common questions in EN6
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
