- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

Bathroom resealing in Selsdon
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Selsdon. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for leaks into the floor or ceiling below and smears of silicone across the tiles, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands. Mastic man, silicone man or sealant specialist, the name varies; in Selsdon, the job is the same: proper preparation and the right sealant for every joint.
Most calls we get from Selsdon are for bath resealing or shower resealing. The old bead is cut out, the joint cleaned and dried, and the bath filled with water before the new silicone goes on.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Selsdon are no different.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selsdon
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Bathroom resealing in Selsdon: 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. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Schools such as Selsdon Primary and Nursery School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to St Francis include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common problems we fix in Selsdon
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Letting a property close to Sanderstead station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. In a London area like Selsdon, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- 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.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- 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.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Questions from Selsdon
Could a tired shower seal in my Selsdon 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.
Is parking a problem for a job in Selsdon?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you come to Selsdon?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Selsdon included.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
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. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
