- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Bath resealing in Four Gates without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

FAQs for Four Gates
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Four Gates?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Four Gates. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we are called out for in Four Gates

The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Four Gates
There is no area surcharge for Four Gates. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
