Why silicone fails — and why it matters
The silicone bead around your bath, shower tray and where tiles meet other surfaces is doing an important job — it's the only thing preventing water from getting behind the tiles and into the floor below. Over time, silicone goes black with mould, pulls away from the surface and develops gaps.
Most people treat it as a cosmetic problem. It isn't. Failed silicone is the single most common cause of bathroom leaks that John sees — the kind that go unnoticed for months until the downstairs ceiling comes in. The fix is quick and inexpensive when caught early. The damage is not.
What the silicone renewal service includes
Bath Re-sealing
Full strip and replacement of the silicone seal along the bath edge where it meets the tiles and wall.
Shower Tray Re-sealing
All silicone around the shower tray removed and replaced — the most leak-prone area in any bathroom.
Tile Joint Sealing
Where tiles meet walls, ceilings or other surfaces — silicone joints renewed to keep water out.
Kitchen & Worktop Sealing
Sinks, worktops and splashbacks resealed — the same problem occurs in kitchens as bathrooms.

All prices include materials. For larger bathrooms or multiple areas, call for a quote.
Often done alongside regrouting
Silicone renewal and regrouting are frequently done at the same time — the grout and the silicone both age together. If your grout is also stained or cracked, John can quote both as a combined job (from £295).

"Jonny did a fantastic job of resealing around our bath and kitchen sink. He also resealed some panelling on the side of our bath that looks so much better. Such a lovely quality finish and at a very reasonable price!!"
