Mould‑Free Silicone Resealing
Stop the cycle: I remove mould‑stained silicone, prep the joint properly, and reseal with sanitary‑grade silicone for a clean, durable finish.
Why mould keeps coming back
It’s usually not just a “cleaning” problem. If silicone was applied over damp or soapy surfaces, or has gaps/voids, water seeps behind the bead and feeds mould. The fix is full removal and proper resealing—not scrubbing the top.
- Complete removal of old silicone (no residues left behind)
- Thorough clean & dry to remove soap film and loosened debris
- Reseal with sanitary‑grade, mould‑resistant silicone
- Smooth, continuous bead to prevent water ingress
Where this service helps
Showers & Tubs
Perimeter seams, vertical corners, glass tracks, tub‑to‑tile transitions.
Bathroom Vanities
Sink rims, backsplash seams, counter‑to‑wall joints.
Kitchens
Sink perimeters, counter seams, backsplashes, water‑prone edges.
Other Damp Spots
Laundry sinks and window trims in wet zones.
My 5‑step resealing process
- Inspect & mask: Identify failed joints and protect finishes.
- Full removal: Cut out all old silicone—no skim‑coating.
- Clean & dry: Degrease, de‑soap, and fully dry the surface.
- Apply silicone: Sanitary‑grade bead sized to the joint.
- Tool & cure: Smooth finish; advise cure time before use.
Safety & scope
- PPE: I use gloves, eye protection, and an N95 respirator during removal.
- Scope: Surface mould on silicone only. If mould extends into drywall, sub‑surfaces, or is widespread, I’ll recommend remediation.
- Size limit: If the total visible mould is larger than ~3 m² or keeps returning due to hidden leaks, professional remediation is advised.
