Bathroom resealing in SO20: how it works

Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and smears of silicone across the tiles.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.

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. 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.

How to look after the new joints

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

• Wipe the sealant dry after showering
• Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
• Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
• Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start

Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.

Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

• The type of sealant required
• The number of rooms or windows
• Any mould that needs treating
• The old material and how stubborn it is

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
