Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Abbotswood, Surrey
Bath resealing for Abbotswood, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Abbotswood
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbotswood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Abbotswood
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you work in Abbotswood?
We do. We send a technician to Abbotswood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Common problems we fix in Abbotswood
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
