Bath resealing in West Chiltington Common, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Related advice
When to call us in West Chiltington Common
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually.
