How we handle bath resealing in Chantry

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Chantry

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath resealing in Chantry?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Questions from Chantry

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Resealing in Chantry: 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
