Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Walton on the Hill, Surrey
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Walton on the Hill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Walton on the Hill
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Walton on the Hill
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- 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
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Why it’s worth resealing in Walton on the Hill
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
