About our bath resealing in Chyandour
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chyandour, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Do you need bath resealing in Chyandour?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote

FAQs for Chyandour
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Chyandour?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Chyandour: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
