Bathroom resealing in TW19: how it works

Homes in TW19 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and mouldy sealant that has gone black.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Where we work in TW19

TW19 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford and Stanwell. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in TW19, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Stanwell: If you let a flat or house near Ashford Surrey station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

When something else is needed

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:

  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use
  • Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
  • Wait for the cure time we give you

Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.

Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Signs you need bathroom resealing

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
  • Damp behind the bath or under the tray
  • Failed sealant on the screen profile
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

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

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The product the joint needs
  • Any working-time requirements on site

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from TW19

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Does someone need to be in?

It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

What colours of sealant can you use?

White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured.
