About our bath resealing in Surrex
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Surrex
We don’t charge extra for travel to Surrex. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Common questions in Surrex
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Surrex?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Surrex for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why it’s worth resealing in Surrex
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Surrex
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
