Bath resealing at your home in Crapstone
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include stained silicone and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
FAQs for Crapstone
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Common problems we fix in Crapstone
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

What happens on the day

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Crapstone
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
