What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about bath resealing in Chelston
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
