Bath resealing for Churchill homes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Churchill, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Resealing in Churchill: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Churchill

Do you come to Churchill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Churchill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
