Bath Resealing for Childrey homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Childrey, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath resealing in Childrey, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath resealing in Childrey
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
