Bath resealing in Chilton Street

Bath resealing in Chilton Street without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Materials we repair

  • Baths

  • Wet rooms

Common questions in Chilton Street

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Chilton Street is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Are there extra charges for Chilton Street?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Common problems we fix in Chilton Street

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Chilton Street

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

If you are in Chilton Street and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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