Common problems we fix in Cross End
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
If you let a flat or house near Bures station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
Bathroom resealing in Cross End
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you’re dealing with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Cross End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Cross End
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Cross End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What else we do in Cross End
Leave it or put it right?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Around Cross End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Cross End: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cross End?
Yes. Cross End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bures station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
