Bath resealing for Gadshill homes

Bath resealing in Gadshill without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Resealing in Gadshill: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

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

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gadshill

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
