- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bread Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath resealing in Bread Street without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bread Street and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Bread Street
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bread Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Bread Street
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Bread Street
There’s no charge for travel to Bread Street. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
