Bath resealing at your home in Great Bookham
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Resealing in Great Bookham: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Great Bookham
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Great Bookham
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
