Bath resealing in Higher Chillington, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Higher Chillington
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover Higher Chillington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Higher Chillington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does bath resealing cost in Higher Chillington?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TA19 postcode.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
