Get quotes for Bathroom Sealing in your areaWhile you may be tempted to seal your bathroom yourself, it’s best advised to hire someone with experience. If it’s not done preferably it could cost you a lot of money and headaches in repairs in the future. When it comes to removing old sealant, it's not a fun job and an experienced set of hands will be much better at cutting out the old silicone without scraping surrounding surfaces. A seasoned tradesperson will also be better able to identify the source of any leaks and advise on the best type of sealant to use for your specific situation. For example, if your bathroom is very humid, they may be able to recommend a good Anti-Mould Sealant.
If you’ve noticed a leak or wet patch in your bathroom, you should have this area resealed right away to avoid further damage. Old, cracked and mouldy sealant should be replaced as soon as possible also. In general, it’s advisable to have your bathroom resealed every 1-2 years, regardless of whether there is any visible damage or leaks. This prevents mould and mildew build up which can lead to more serious issues down the line.
No, you should never reseal over existing sealant. Not only will this look unappealing, but cracked sealant will still leak, even if covered. All of the old sealant must be removed before you can reapply a fresh batch.
In general, you should pick up the sealant yourself. It’s relatively cheap (under €15 in most cases) and will be available in most hardware stores. There are a wide range of sealants available from waterproof to anti-mould and anti-fungicide. Silicone sealants are generally considered to be the best kind to go for but you can ask your Tasker for their advice before starting the project if you’re unsure.
