Bathroom resealing in RM15: how it works

A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include smears of silicone across the tiles and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy.

  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. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Why deal with it now?

Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Helping us quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • The rough size of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • The address or postcode of the job

To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let bottles sit on the bead
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around RM15, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

FAQs for RM15

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

Do you guarantee your resealing?

Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?

Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
