Bath resealing in Gabber, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gabber and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Gabber questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we’re called out for in Gabber
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
