How we handle bath resealing in Chalk End
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Take a look at our pricing.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chalk End
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common questions in Chalk End
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Chalk End?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What we are called out for in Chalk End
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
