Bath resealing for Horley homes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Horley, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Horley

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Horley customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Horley

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Horley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
