Bath resealing in Croft, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

FAQs for Croft

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Common problems we fix in Croft

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
