- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What affects the price in Chesterblade
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Chesterblade: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
Across the UK, so Chesterblade is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Chesterblade
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
