Bath Resealing in Cholsey
Bath resealing in and around Cholsey: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Cholsey. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our bath resealing in Cholsey
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Cholsey
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
