Bath resealing near Chelston

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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.

About our bath resealing in Chelston

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

When to call us in Chelston

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Chelston

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Chelston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
