Bathroom resealing in SS5: how it works

The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant that has gone black and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases.

1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
