How we handle bath resealing in Chillenden
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Chillenden
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Chillenden
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
