How bathroom resealing works in PA80

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are smears of silicone across the tiles and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

• Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
• Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
• Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
• Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead

In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
