Bath resealing in Gallowstree Common, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Gallowstree Common. The price depends on:
- 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
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Gallowstree Common questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover the entire of Reading?
The entire UK, including all of Reading. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work in Gallowstree Common?
We do. We send a technician to Gallowstree Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gallowstree Common?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Gallowstree Common
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gallowstree Common
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gallowstree Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
