Bath resealing near Chillington

About our bath resealing in Chillington

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Rural addresses like Chillington just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chillington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Chillington

Do you cover villages like Chillington?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Chillington?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. For a rural home like those around Chillington, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath resealing is one trip.

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our Prices page.

When to call us in Chillington

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

If you manage a building such as Stokenham Area Primary School, we repair changing rooms and washrooms as well as work in homes.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. For a rural address like Chillington, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
