Bath resealing in St Ann's Chapel, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in St Ann's Chapel
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?

Do you need bath resealing in St Ann's Chapel?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
