Your questions about bath resealing in Chevinside
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE56 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Chevinside?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chevinside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How we handle bath resealing in Chevinside
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Chevinside
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Take a look at our pricing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
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 your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
