Bath resealing in Chilton without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Chilton
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
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.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
