Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Cheriton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before booking anyone

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cheriton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
