How we handle bath resealing in Horsley
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Horsley: your questions answered
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Horsley
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
Resealing in Horsley: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horsley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
