Bath resealing in Claygate without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Claygate?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Claygate questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you come to Claygate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Claygate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
