Bath resealing in Sanderstead without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Sanderstead
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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.
Common questions in Sanderstead
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does bath resealing cost in Sanderstead?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
