  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Chirton: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Resealing in Chirton: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Chirton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chirton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
