About bathroom resealing in SL9
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the amount of work.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SL9
Homes across SL9 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross and Chalfont Common. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SL9, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Chalfont St Peter: For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Chalfont St Peter CofE Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in SL9
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing

What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.

What we’re called out for in SL9
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in SL9
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
