Bath resealing in Chewton Mendip, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Chewton Mendip questions
How much does bath resealing cost in Chewton Mendip?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
