What is Asked & Done?

Asked & Done is a free web app where you upload a photo of your problem (kitchen, household, DIY, repair or garden) and instantly get a concise step-by-step guide with a matching tools and materials list — whether it's an unknown herb, a stuck door or a yellowing houseplant.

How long does the new joint need to dry?

Usually 24 hours before it gets wet again. The exact time is on the cartridge – thick joints take longer.

Why won't my joint go smooth?

Usually the smoothing agent is missing: without a wetted surface the silicone sticks to your finger and tears. Use soapy water or a dedicated agent and work in ONE pass.

Renewing bathroom silicone joints

Difficulty: Medium · Time: approx. 45 minutes

An old silicone joint that's yellowed, cracked or mouldy doesn't just look bad – eventually it lets water through. Renewing it is very doable, but it takes care and patience when smoothing.

Most of it is preparation: removing the old silicone completely and working cleanly. Allow drying time – the new joint should cure for 24 hours before it gets wet.

What you'll need

Utility knife or joint scraper
Sanitary silicone (mould-resistant) + a caulking gun
Masking tape
Smoothing agent or a little soapy water
Cloth + a joint smoother (or a clean finger)

Step by step

1
Remove the old silicone
Cut into the old joint on both sides with the knife and peel it off. Remove residue with the scraper – the surface must be completely clean, or the new silicone won't hold.
2
Clean and dry
Clean the joint thoroughly, remove any mould residue, then let it dry completely. Moisture is the most common reason joints go mouldy.
3
Mask off
Stick a strip of masking tape on each side of the joint, evenly spaced. This gives a clean edge.
4
Apply the silicone
Cut the cartridge tip at an angle to the right size and press silicone into the joint in one even pass – better slightly too much than too little.
5
Smooth and pull the tape
Wet the joint with smoothing agent/soapy water and draw it smooth in one pass with a smoother or finger. Then pull off the tape IMMEDIATELY while the silicone is still wet. Cure for 24 hours.
