- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant

Why it’s worth resealing in Chegworth
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Chegworth without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Chegworth. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Do you need bath resealing in Chegworth?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

FAQs for Chegworth
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
