Do you need bath resealing in Galphay?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Mould you cannot clean out

Bath resealing at your home in Galphay
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HG4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What else we do in Galphay
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath resealing in Galphay
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Galphay?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
