Catchgate: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Bath resealing in Catchgate, 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, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What a repair cannot fix

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work 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 protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.

Advice
Resealing in Catchgate: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Catchgate
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Catchgate
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
