Bath resealing in Dorking without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Resealing in Dorking: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dorking. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Dorking: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Dorking?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dorking and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

Across the UK, and that includes Dorking. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dorking as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
