Shower resealing
/01What resealing actually covers
Resealing means renewing the flexible silicone joints — internal corners, wall-to-floor junctions, around the shower screen, the hob and tap penetrations. These movement joints are where showers most often let water through, and they're pure silicone territory, not grout.
/02When resealing alone is enough
If the grout is sound — firm, bonded, no cracking or missing sections — and only the silicone has split, lifted or gone mouldy, a full strip-and-reseal of the joints can restore the enclosure. The old silicone must be cut out completely and the joint cleaned and dried before the new bead goes in.
/03When you need regrouting too
Cracked, sandy or missing grout means water can enter through the joints between tiles as well — silicone alone won't stop that. In that case the right scope is grout removal and renewal plus resealing. Our shower repair inspections identify exactly which joints have failed so you only pay for what's needed.
/04Making the new seals last
Let fresh silicone cure fully before using the shower, keep the bathroom ventilated, and clean with non-abrasive products — harsh chemicals shorten sealant life. Check corners every few months; catching a lifting edge early is a small fix, not a leak. Every reseal from Mr. Regrout is backed by a written 5-year waterproof warranty.
