How bathroom resealing works in PH2

Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.

Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.

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. 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. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

What affects the quote in PH2

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

• Which sealant suits the joint
• Access and height
• How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
• The number and length of the joints

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

• Where the job is, and your postcode
• A few photos by email, if you can

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

• Dry worktop joints after washing up
• Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
• Give the silicone its full cure time
• Dry the bead with a towel now and then

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
