When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common problems we fix in Galston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Galston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Galston. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Galston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
