Old bathroom silicone can become mouldy, split, peel away or lose adhesion around shower trays, baths and tiled wet areas.
Old, mouldy or failed bathroom sealant removed properly and replaced around showers, baths, shower trays and basins for a clean, watertight silicone seal.
Ideal for new bathrooms, bathroom refurbishments, new-build snagging, or replacing mouldy and failed silicone where water is starting to escape.
Proper sealant removal, cleaning and surface preparation matter just as much as applying the new sanitary silicone.
Old bathroom silicone can become mouldy, split, peel away or lose adhesion around shower trays, baths and tiled wet areas.
Fresh sanitary silicone restores the joint around the wet area and gives the shower or bath edge a cleaner finish.
Failed shower sealant around trays, enclosures and tiled edges removed and renewed where suitable.
Mouldy, cracked or peeling silicone replaced around bath edges, bath screens and common splash zones.
Neat silicone resealing around bathroom basins, splashbacks and similar household wet areas.
Silicone that has split, lifted or separated can stop sealing the joint properly and allow water ingress behind trays, baths, tiles or surrounding finishes.
Once black mould and staining are embedded in old silicone sealant, replacement is often more effective than repeated cleaning.
Visible gaps around shower trays, bath edges and tiled joints can indicate that the waterproof seal is no longer doing its job.
Poorly finished or early-failing new-build silicone can be stripped back, cleaned, prepared properly and resealed.

Real Chippenham workA local Chippenham bath resealing job showing failed sealant removal and the type of bathroom resealing work this service covers.
Most bathroom silicone replacement jobs fall within this range depending on the amount of old sealant, mould or failure present, access, preparation needed and the number of shower, bath or basin joints to reseal.
Show the shower, bath, tray or basin and any mouldy, split, peeling or failed silicone joints.
Failed sealant is stripped out rather than covered with another bead, then the joint is cleaned and prepared.
The prepared joint is resealed neatly using bathroom-suitable sanitary silicone and left to cure.
Yes. Failed, mouldy or loose silicone sealant is removed before resealing rather than simply being covered over with fresh silicone.
Yes. If black mould and staining are within the old silicone, removing the failed sealant and applying fresh sanitary silicone is often the best way to refresh the joint.
Yes. Early peeling, gaps or untidy new-build silicone can often be removed and renewed once dust, grout haze or residue has been cleaned from the joint.
Smaller resealing jobs may take around one to two hours. Larger shower enclosures, multiple wet areas or badly failed sealant can take longer.
The new sanitary silicone needs time to cure before getting wet. A typical guide is around 12–24 hours, but the exact curing time depends on the product, ventilation and conditions.
