Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

Common questions in Holmbury St Mary

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Holmbury St Mary

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • A fixed quote before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

When to call us in Holmbury St Mary

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
