About our bath resealing in Chatterton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Chatterton
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Chatterton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
