How bathroom resealing works in N11

We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Typical jobs include a joint torn by a bath that flexes and leaking joints on a shower screen, across sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.

1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

• Do not let bottles sit on the bead
• Wait for the cure time we give you
• Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
• Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
