Bath resealing in Long Ditton

Bath resealing in Long Ditton without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Long Ditton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Questions from Long Ditton

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Long Ditton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Long Ditton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Long Ditton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
