- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chalbury Common

Why it’s worth resealing in Chalbury Common
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, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Chalbury Common?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath

Your questions about bath resealing in Chalbury Common
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH21 postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chalbury Common included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
