Bathroom resealing in KA29: how it works
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Why it fails
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What affects the quote in KA29
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites

- The size of the job

Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
KA29: your questions answered
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
