Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ockham, Surrey
Our repair technicians come to Ockham for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Bath resealing in Ockham without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Ockham: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Ockham. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlord and trade work in Ockham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
