Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Bath resealing in Chacombe, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Chacombe
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Chacombe?
We do. Technicians travel to Chacombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
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.
