Bathroom resealing in Purley
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear price before any work starts. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Purley more than a cosmetic job.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Purley, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

What else we do in Purley
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
When to call us in Purley
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Homes close to St Swithun's include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work
Bathroom resealing in Purley: local notes
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, 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, which is why it’s worth fixing early.

FAQs for Purley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Purley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Could a tired shower seal in my Purley flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you cover Purley?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Purley, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a job in Purley, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
