Questions from Ashtead
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Ashtead?
We do. We send a technician to Ashtead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Bath resealing at your home in Ashtead
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashtead
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Do you need bath resealing in Ashtead?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
