FAQs for Hersham
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Hersham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hersham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How we handle bath resealing in Hersham
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hersham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hersham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer
