How we handle bath resealing in Gallows Inn

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Gallows Inn questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

Resealing in Gallows Inn: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Gallows Inn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Gallows Inn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
