When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

Questions from Charlwood

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Charlwood?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What we do, step by step

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 job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Charlwood. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Charlwood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Charlwood

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
