Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in East Shalford, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure 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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Do you need bath resealing in East Shalford?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Resealing in East Shalford: why it matters

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Shalford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for East Shalford

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

How long will it take?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What affects the price in East Shalford

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
