Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Chalkshire, Buckinghamshire
Our technicians come to Chalkshire for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in Chalkshire
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Chalkshire
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Chalkshire is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Signs you need bath resealing in Chalkshire
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Chalkshire. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chalkshire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
