Bath resealing at your home in Reigate

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Reigate and across Surrey.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure 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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Reigate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Reigate

Do you work in Reigate?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Reigate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Reigate?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
