Frequently Asked Questions

How often should bathroom silicone be replaced? Typically every 5-10 years, or sooner if mouldy, cracked, or peeling. Poor ventilation may require more frequent replacement.
Can you match silicone colour? Yes, we offer clear, white, and various colours to match your tiles, grout, or fixtures.
Why does my bathroom silicone go mouldy? Usually due to poor ventilation, using non-mould-resistant products, or incomplete removal of old mould before reapplication.
Do you remove old silicone? Yes, complete removal of old material is essential for proper adhesion and lasting results.
How long does caulking service take? A standard bathroom takes 2-4 hours. Larger areas or multiple rooms require more time.
