How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
About our bathroom resealing in Cranham
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Cranham are no different.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cranham
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's Cranham, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Upminster station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
Do you need bathroom resealing in Cranham?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black spots spreading through the bead
If you look after a building such as Hall Mead School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranham
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Cranham and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together.
FAQs for Cranham
I live in a flat in Cranham. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cranham?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you work in Cranham?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Cranham.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
