Bath resealing in Chells, done in place
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 resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Common questions in Chells
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How much does bath resealing cost in Chells?

How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chells
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Chells
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
