How we handle bath resealing in Chestnut Hill
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean 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 reseal now?

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chestnut Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
