How we handle bath resealing in Clapgate
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why it’s worth resealing in Clapgate
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?

What affects the price in Clapgate
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Clapgate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clapgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Clapgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Common problems we fix in Clapgate
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Clapgate: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG11 postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
