Silicone Replacement in Melbourne | Bathroom & Balcony Silicone Repair
Fixing mould, gaps and leaks before they get worse.
Cracked, mouldy, or peeling silicone doesn’t fix itself. It lets water through every time the tap runs and works its way behind the tiles, settling into the wall cavity or subfloor where you can’t see it. By the time discolouration or a musty smell shows up, water’s usually already sitting somewhere it shouldn’t be. Elkan Group handles silicone replacement for bathrooms and balconies across Melbourne. Our expert teams help you handle silicone replacement in Melbourne with proper prep, mould treatment where it's needed, and a clean reseal that's built to last.
Signs Your Silicone Needs Replacing Immediately
Silicone and sealant are constantly exposed to water, moisture, movement, cleaning products and changes in temperature. Eventually, this makes the seal become weak, dry out, peel away or develop black mould. Particularly in wet areas - such as shower corners, expansion joints, and around the base of the toilet - these conditions speed up the breakdown, since silicone in those spots barely gets a chance to fully dry between uses.
The signs can show up as
Black or pink patches along the joint
Cracked, split, or peeling silicone
Seal gone hard, brittle, or chalky
Musty smell that lingers after cleaning
If you notice any of these signs, it's likely that water has already found its way past the seal and into the wall cavity or subfloor beneath. The longer it sits there, the more it spreads, turning a straightforward silicone job into a repair that involves stripped tiles, mould treatment, and replaced waterproofing.
Elkan Group helps with exactly this, catching failed silicone before it gets worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — silicone replacement is a surface-level job and doesn't require removing or damaging surrounding tiles.
-
Black mould on silicone can affect indoor air quality and trigger allergies or respiratory irritation for some people, especially in poorly ventilated bathrooms.
-
Surface cleaning can remove light staining, but once mould has grown into the silicone itself, cleaning won't fully remove it — replacement is the only permanent fix.
-
Grout fills the gaps between tiles and is rigid, while silicone seals flexible joints like corners, edges, and where different surfaces meet.
-
Regular cleaning removes surface residue but doesn't stop mould or bacteria growing inside the silicone itself once it's taken hold.
