Silicone seals the joints between tiles and other surfaces such as where a shower base meets the wall, or a benchtop meets a splashback preventing water ingress at movement-prone junctions. Below is current Melbourne pricing for silicone sealing across bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, and expansion joints.
Silicone deteriorates over time, becoming discoloured, mouldy, or cracked, particularly in constantly wet areas like showers. Resealing is a relatively low-cost way to refresh a bathroom's appearance and restore its water resistance without a full retile or regrout. Expansion joint silicone is a slightly different application, used at structural movement joints in floors and walls to accommodate building movement without cracking the tile or grout; this is priced per linear metre rather than as a fixed room price.
Silicone Sealing Prices
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Silicone | $150–$350 |
| Kitchen Silicone | $100–$250 |
| Laundry Silicone | $100–$200 |
| Expansion Joint Silicone | $20–$45 per metre |
| Commercial Silicone | Custom Quote |
