What we reseal
The joints that move.
Anywhere two surfaces meet and move against each other needs silicone, not grout. These are the joints in a bathroom that fail, and the ones we rebuild. (We do not replace grout.)
Shower corners and thresholds
Vertical corners and the joint at the shower floor, where the water actually sits.
Tub and shower to floor
Where the base meets the tile floor and the mop goes every week.
Vanities and sinks
The backsplash-to-wall joint and the sink rim.
Toilets and fixtures
The base joint and any escutcheon that lets water under the floor.
Glass enclosures
The glass-to-tile and glass-to-tray joints on a framed or frameless enclosure.
How we do it
The same discipline as the outside of the house.
A bathroom joint is a small job done properly or a small job done every year. We do it properly.
Strip
Every trace of the old silicone cut and scraped out. Nothing bonds to cured silicone — not even silicone.
Sanitize
The open joint and the grout beside it disinfected and mould-treated, then left to dry fully — on every shower, tub and backsplash.
Rebuild
Backer where the gap needs it, then DOWSIL Tub, Tile & Ceramic 100% silicone — made to resist mould — tooled to a clean concave line.
Cure
Twenty-four hours before water. We tell you exactly when it is ready.

Straight answers
Bathroom questions.
Can't I just caulk over the old silicone?
You can, and it will peel within the year. Nothing bonds to cured silicone — not even new silicone. The old bead has to come out completely, the joint has to be sanitized and dry, and only then does a new seal hold.
How long before I can use the shower?
Sooner than you would think. The silicone we use is rated water-ready about 30 minutes after it goes on. We still recommend giving it 4 to 6 hours to cure properly to the touch before any bottles, caddies or shower-ware go back near the beads — and a good rule of thumb is the smell: once the vinegar note has gone, it is fully cured and fully shower-ready.
Why does it smell like vinegar afterwards?
Because it is curing. DOWSIL Tub, Tile & Ceramic is an acetoxy silicone: as it cures it releases a little acetic acid — the same thing that gives vinegar its smell. It is normal, it is harmless, and it dissipates on its own once the silicone has fully cured. Run the fan, crack the window, and when the smell has gone the joint is ready.
The black is mould. Will it come back?
Not through a properly made joint — and if it does, it is on us. Tub and shower reseals carry a 5-year warranty that covers peeling and mould. We disinfect the joint and the grout line next to it before we seal, and we use DOWSIL Tub, Tile & Ceramic 100% silicone, which is made to resist mould. Mould comes back when water gets behind the seal — which is what the old, failed bead was letting it do.
Do you do grout?
No — we do not replace grout. Caulk and grout are different materials for different joints: a moving joint (tub-to-tile, corner-to-corner, anything that meets the floor) gets silicone, and that is what we do. If your grout is failing in the field of the tile, that is a tiling job, and we will say so.
