How we handle bath resealing in Ivy Chimneys
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ivy Chimneys as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Ivy Chimneys
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from Ivy Chimneys
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you cover Ivy Chimneys?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ivy Chimneys. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
