Bath & Shower Silicone Replacement
Silicone around baths and showers can become discoloured, mouldy, cracked or loose over time. Once the seal starts to fail, water may find its way behind the bath, shower tray or surrounding tiles.
Replacing deteriorated silicone helps restore a neat finish and helps protect the surrounding area from water ingress when the underlying surfaces and installation are sound.
We provide bathroom silicone replacement for suitable joints around baths, showers, sinks and other fixtures.
Bath Resealing
Old silicone around a bath can become stained, split or pull away from the wall. We remove the existing sealant where appropriate, prepare the joint and apply fresh sanitary silicone to leave a clean, consistent finish.
This can include the joint between the bath and tiles, suitable bath-to-wall joints and other accessible sealing areas.
Shower Tray Sealing
The seal around a shower tray needs to remain in good condition to help prevent water escaping into surrounding areas. We can remove failed silicone and reseal suitable joints between shower trays, tiles and other appropriate surfaces.
If water is already leaking through the shower installation, the underlying cause may need further investigation. Replacing silicone alone will not fix every type of leak.
Shower Screen & Glass Sealing
Worn or damaged silicone around a shower screen can leave gaps and make the shower area look untidy. We can renew suitable sealing joints around shower glass and frames where the existing installation allows.
Sink & Basin Resealing
Silicone around a bathroom basin or kitchen sink can deteriorate through regular use and exposure to water. We can replace old sealant around suitable sink-to-worktop and basin-to-wall joints for a cleaner finish.
Kitchen Worktop & Sink Sealing
Silicone is also used in kitchens to seal joints around sinks, worktops, upstands and splashbacks.
We can help with smaller resealing jobs where old sealant has become stained, cracked or detached, including:
- Kitchen sink edges and worktop joints
- Worktop-to-wall joints and upstands
- Suitable splashback joints
- Accessible window-sill joints
- Other appropriate sealing areas around the home
Silicone Replacement for Baths, Showers & Sinks
We remove old, mouldy or failed silicone and apply fresh, neat anti-mould sanitary sealant for a clean finish around your bath, shower, sink or worktop. Based in Skerries, we carry out silicone replacement across North Dublin.
We never seal over old silicone. The old bead is cut out completely, and the joint is cleaned and dried before any new sealant goes on.
Where we replace silicone
Baths
Bath to tile and bath to wall joints, plus bath panels where appropriate.
Shower trays & screens
Tray to tile, glass to wall and glass to tray, plus shower panels where suitable.
Sinks & basins
Basin to tile and sink to worktop, and around suitable bathroom fittings and trims.
Kitchen worktops
Worktop to wall, upstands, splashbacks, sink surrounds and window sills.
We can also replace silicone on other suitable joints, such as window boards. If you're unsure, send a photo and we'll tell you whether the job is suitable.
How we replace silicone
- Cut out the old, mouldy or failed silicone completely.
- Clean the joint and surfaces.
- Treat any mould before sealing.
- Dry fully so the new sealant bonds properly.
- Apply a smooth, tool-finished bead of anti-mould silicone in white (standard) or clear.
Why the prep matters: new silicone applied over old, damp or mouldy sealant tends to fail quickly. Removing the old bead and preparing the surface first is what gives a lasting, clean-looking result.
Need grouting repaired too?
We also repair cracked and mould-stained grout, and can often do both jobs in the same visit. Send a photo of the area on WhatsApp for a fixed price, with jobs from €60.

Grouting Repairs & Re-Grouting
Small grouting issues make a bathroom look tired and let water in behind tiles.
- Tile grout touch-ups
- Cracked grout repair
- Mould-stained grout replacement
- Bathroom floor & wall grout
Why Old Silicone Fails
- Mould & discolouration - black spots that won't clean off
- Gaps & shrinkage - sealant pulling away from tile or bath
- Water damage - water tracking behind tiles
- Peeling & poor application - thick, uneven beads
A Neat, Professional Finish
- Prep - complete removal, mould treatment, fully dry the joint
- Masking - straight tape lines for sharp edges
- Smooth bead - consistent, tool-finished, no hollows or bubbles
- Tidy up - tape removed, surfaces wiped, old sealant taken away
One Visit, Several Jobs
Often when silicone needs doing, other small jobs need attention too:
- Small plumbing: re-fit shower head holder, loose taps
- Painting touch-ups after sealing
- Re-fixing loose trim or bath panels
- Extractor fan cover clean
