How bathroom resealing works in MK9

A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for damp behind the bath or under the tray and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.

1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Aftercare tips

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

• Do not let bottles sit on the bead
• Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
• Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
• Wipe up water along the back of the worktop

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.

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. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
