How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing in Chinley without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Chinley
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Chinley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chinley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Common problems we fix in Chinley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
