Bathroom resealing in HP12: how it works

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, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.

At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Booker: Letting a property close to High Wycombe station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Christ the Servant King, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What affects the quote in HP12

You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The product the joint needs

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through

Should I try it myself first?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Surface by surface

Shower trays & enclosures

If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.

Wet rooms

If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
