Bathroom silicone sealing around tiles Melbourne

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.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

01How much does it cost to reseal a bathroom in Melbourne?
Resealing a standard bathroom typically costs between $150 and $350, covering removal of old silicone and application of a new, clean bead around the shower, bath, and vanity.
02Why does bathroom silicone go mouldy?
Silicone is porous over time and constant moisture exposure in showers can lead to mould growth, particularly if the bathroom isn't well ventilated. Resealing with mould-resistant silicone can help extend the time between resealing.
03How often should bathroom silicone be replaced?
As a general guide, bathroom silicone should be checked every few years and replaced when it becomes discoloured, cracked, or starts lifting away from the tile, to maintain water resistance at these joints.
04What is expansion joint silicone used for?
Expansion joint silicone is installed at structural movement joints in large floor areas to allow the building to move slightly without cracking the tiles or grout, and is priced per linear metre rather than by room.
05Can you match the silicone colour to my grout?
Yes, silicone is available in a wide range of colours to closely match your existing grout, giving a seamless, professional finish once resealing is complete.
06How long does silicone take to cure before I can use the shower?
Most silicone products need 24 hours to cure before the area can be exposed to water, so we recommend avoiding shower use for a full day after resealing.
07Do you offer silicone sealing for commercial kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, commercial silicone sealing is available and quoted individually based on the scope and access requirements of the venue.
08Can silicone be applied over old, still-intact silicone?
No, new silicone should always be applied over a clean, bare surface. Applying it over old silicone prevents proper adhesion and will lead to premature failure, which is why removal is always the first step.
09How much does it cost to reseal an expansion joint?
Expansion joint silicone is priced per linear metre, typically $20 to $45, depending on the joint width, accessibility, and whether old sealant needs to be removed first.
10Can I shower the same day my bathroom is resealed?
We recommend avoiding water contact with freshly applied silicone for at least 24 hours to allow it to cure fully, so it's worth planning an alternative shower arrangement on the day of resealing.
11Do you offer a warranty on silicone sealing work?
Yes, our silicone sealing work is backed by a workmanship warranty, with specific terms confirmed as part of your written quote before work begins.
