About our bathroom resealing in Old Coulsdon
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Old Coulsdon. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water getting behind the bath panel.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Old Coulsdon, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 fails, we can still redo it.

What else we do in Old Coulsdon
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Old Coulsdon
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

Questions from Old Coulsdon
Could a tired shower seal in my Old Coulsdon flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
I let a flat near Coulsdon South station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Coulsdon
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

Bathroom resealing in Old Coulsdon: local notes
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Keston Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. As a London address, Old Coulsdon can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Common problems we fix in Old Coulsdon
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
