About our bath resealing in Chilton Foliat
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Chilton Foliat: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Chilton Foliat, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
If you’re in Chilton Foliat and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials we work on in Chilton Foliat
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Chilton Foliat. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
