Bath resealing near Chipstead

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle bath resealing in Chipstead

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. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Your questions about bath resealing in Chipstead

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What affects the price in Chipstead

There’s no area surcharge for Chipstead. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Chipstead

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
