Bath resealing in Chipstable

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Bath resealing in Chipstable, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do you need bath resealing in Chipstable?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
