Bathroom resealing across OX33: what to expect

It isn’t 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 that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and failed sealant on the screen profile.

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on how much there is to do.

1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

• Whether there’s mould to deal with
• The old material and how stubborn it is
• How many areas need sealing
• The size of the job

Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Helping us quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

• How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
• What’s wrong with the joints now
• Any access issues, like height or stairs
• The type of property

If you’re in OX33 and need bathroom resealing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards

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

• Move toiletries away from the joint
• Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
• Wipe the sealant dry after showering
• Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet

Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
