Chislet questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Chislet?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chislet for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Bath resealing in Chislet, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chislet
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Chislet
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why it’s worth resealing in Chislet
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 generally the cheaper route.
