Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

Use the extractor fan
Store bottles on a shelf
Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common questions in Surrey Canal

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Surrey Canal?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Gaps too big for silicone alone
A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

Baths
Kitchen worktops & sinks
Wet rooms
Basins & vanity units
Shower trays & enclosures

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

The colour and finish to match
How many areas need work
How many items we do on one visit
Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

A picture taken from further back
Any details about the material
A close-up of the damage, in focus
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
We clean the joint and treat any mould.
We dry the joint thoroughly.
For a bath, we fill it 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.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
