Bathroom resealing in PA42: how it works

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath panel and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.

1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in PA42

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

• The number of rooms or windows
• The old material and how stubborn it is
• Access and height
• Mould in or behind the old joints

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Asking for a quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

• Photos by email, if that’s easy
• If someone has resealed it before
• Where the job is, and your postcode
• Whether it’s a home or a business

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

Aftercare tips

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

• Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
• Keep bottles off the sealant line
• Give the silicone its full cure time
• Keep the fan on for a while after bathing

Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
