About our bath resealing in Croydon

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Croydon and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath resealing in Croydon?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Croydon

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you come to Croydon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Croydon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Croydon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
