Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Margery, Surrey
Fixed-price bath resealing in Margery and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing in Margery without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath resealing in Margery
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Margery?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Margery from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Common problems we fix in Margery
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Margery. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
