Shower Silicone Replacement and Bathroom Resealing Across Wellington, Kapiti, Manawatu and Wairarapa
Silicone replacement is one of the most effective ways to refresh a shower or bathroom edge. Tile Express removes failed silicone, prepares the joint and applies fresh wet-area sealant for a cleaner finish around showers, baths, vanities, splashbacks and glass screens.
Searches such as silicone replacement shower NZ, shower resealing Wellington and mouldy silicone replacement usually come from homeowners who can see black staining, gaps, peeling sealant or water escaping at edges.
Replacing old silicone is more than cosmetic. A neat silicone joint helps direct water where it belongs and makes cleaning easier. If the old sealant is mouldy, split or lifting, applying new silicone over the top is not a good long-term solution.
Tile Express removes the failed material, prepares the surface and finishes the joint carefully so bathrooms and showers look cleaner and more cared for.

Example Before & After Case: Wellington Apartment Shower Reseal
Slide each latest project image to compare the before condition with the restored finish.
The shower had black silicone in the corners and a small split near the base where water was collecting after every use.

Best outcome: sharper shower presentation, less visible mould staining and clearer aftercare instructions.
Bathroom grout refresh
Heavy discolouration was reduced and the tiled area was left cleaner and brighter.

FAQs
10 Frequently Asked Questions About Silicone Replacement
When should shower silicone be replaced?
Replace silicone when it is mouldy, split, peeling, loose, shrinking, messy or allowing water to sit behind the joint.
Can you remove black mould from silicone?
If mould has penetrated the silicone, replacement is usually better than surface cleaning because the staining can return quickly.
Do you offer shower resealing in Wellington?
Yes. Shower resealing is available in Wellington, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Porirua and Hutt Valley by appointment.
Can silicone be applied over old silicone?
It is usually better to remove old silicone first. New silicone applied over old material often fails early.
How long does silicone need to cure?
Curing time depends on the product and conditions. Tile Express will confirm when the wet area can be used again.
Can you match the silicone colour?
Where suitable products are available, we can discuss colour-matched or neutral silicone options.
Is silicone replacement enough for a leaking shower?
It may help if failed silicone is the issue, but some leaks come from grout, waterproofing, plumbing or building movement.
Do you replace silicone around baths and vanities?
Yes. Silicone replacement is available around showers, baths, vanities, splashbacks and tiled corners.
Can silicone replacement be combined with regrouting?
Yes. Many shower refresh jobs combine grout cleaning or regrouting with silicone replacement for a cleaner result.
