Bath Resealing for Chainhurst homes
We travel to Chainhurst for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Chainhurst without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Do you need bath resealing in Chainhurst?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish

- When it can be used again

Chainhurst: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath resealing cost in Chainhurst?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chainhurst
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
