Bathroom resealing across KY5: what to expect

It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job.

1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Looking after it afterwards

So the new joints stay in good condition:

• Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
• Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
• Dry worktop joints after washing up
• Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
