Bath resealing at your home in Hydestile

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hydestile

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Hydestile, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
