Bath Resealing in Abbey Gate
Fixed-price bath resealing in Abbey Gate and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
How we handle bath resealing in Abbey Gate
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Resealing in Abbey Gate: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abbey Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Abbey Gate
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
