Charvil: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Bath resealing in Charvil, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Charvil
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Charvil. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Charvil
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Resealing in Charvil: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
