How we handle bath resealing in Chilton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chilton
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
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 typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Chilton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote

- How the colour is matched

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare

Related advice
Chilton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HP18 postcode.
