Bath resealing for Crayford homes

About our bath resealing in Crayford

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Crayford?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Crayford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Questions from Crayford

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Crayford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crayford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
