FAQs for Hammer Bottom

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

About our bath resealing in Hammer Bottom

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GU27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, 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. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Hammer Bottom

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hammer Bottom

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
