Bath Resealing in Fallgate
Our repair technicians come to Fallgate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Fallgate
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and unsealed corners.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fallgate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
Common questions in Fallgate
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Fallgate?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Fallgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
