Bath Resealing in Chadkirk
We travel to Chadkirk for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Bath resealing in Chadkirk, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlord and trade work in Chadkirk
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Chadkirk
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
