Bath resealing in Chelwood Gate, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Chelwood Gate

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Chelwood Gate

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
