How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Chideock. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
About our bath resealing in Chideock
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Chideock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
What we’re called out for in Chideock
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Chideock: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
