Bath resealing in Surrey Quays

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing in Surrey Quays without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Surrey Quays

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Surrey Quays?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Surrey Quays for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
