Why it’s worth resealing in Bookham
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bookham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath resealing in Bookham
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Bookham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Bookham. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bookham

FAQs for Bookham
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
