Bath resealing in Boyden Gate, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Boyden Gate
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Boyden Gate and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boyden Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Boyden Gate
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Boyden Gate. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Boyden Gate?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT3 postcode.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Boyden Gate
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
