About our bath resealing in Chawston

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Chawston

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Chawston

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How much does bath resealing cost in Chawston?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Chawston and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chawston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
