Bath resealing in Chaldon Herring without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Chaldon Herring questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Chaldon Herring?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chaldon Herring
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Chaldon Herring
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Chaldon Herring
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Resealing in Chaldon Herring: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
