When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath resealing at your home in Purley on Thames

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Purley on Thames. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need bath resealing in Purley on Thames

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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