Trusted bath resealing in Gallows Green

Bath resealing in Gallows Green without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Gallows Green: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Gallows Green?

We do. We send a technician to Gallows Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO6 postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need bath resealing in Gallows Green?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
