Bathroom Resealing in St Paul's Cray

Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in St Paul's Cray? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away

Bathroom resealing for St Paul's Cray homes and businesses

Should I try it myself first?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

How we handle bathroom resealing in St Paul's Cray

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across St Paul's Cray. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can help.

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 St Paul's Cray more than a cosmetic job.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a job in St Paul's Cray, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

How to prepare

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping the joints in good condition

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in St Paul's Cray

I let a flat near St Mary Cray station. Can you help?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in St Paul's Cray?

It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.

Do you come to St Paul's Cray?

Yes. We work in St Paul's Cray and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Is there any odour?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Which products do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

St Paul's Cray homes and their sealant

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Access and height
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

When to call us in St Paul's Cray

Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead

For landlords with property near St Mary Cray station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Choosing a sealant specialist

For landlords and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
