Bathroom resealing across CR4: what to expect

The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across CR4: local notes

Homes across CR4 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like London, Streatham and Colliers Wood there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in CR4, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Eastfields: If you look after a building such as St Mark's Church of England Academy, 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. Letting a property close to Mitcham Eastfields station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

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.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Why act early?

Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Whether you can choose the colour

What sealant work can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

How we quote for bathroom resealing

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • The type of sealant required
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Asking for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:

  • The rough size of the job
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

For bathroom resealing in CR4, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

Questions from CR4

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in CR4?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
