About our bath resealing in Crawford
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crawford and across South Lanarkshire.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Crawford
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote

Why it’s worth resealing in Crawford
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Advice
Questions from Crawford
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Crawford?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Crawford. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
