Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St John's Chapel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
How we handle bath resealing in St John's Chapel
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in St John's Chapel
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you work in St John's Chapel?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to St John's Chapel and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in St John's Chapel
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
If you’re in St John's Chapel and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
