Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Slaithwaite?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
