Bathroom resealing in Foots Cray
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. If you’re dealing with black spots spreading through the bead and two layers of silicone, both failing, we can help.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What sealant work cannot fix

- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Foots Cray
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Bathroom resealing in Foots Cray: local notes
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
If you let a flat or house near Sidcup station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. As a London address, Foots Cray can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Common questions in Foots Cray
Can worn sealant in a flat in Foots Cray cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Foots Cray?
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.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you cover Foots Cray?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Foots Cray included.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
