Advice
About our bath resealing in Gartree
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Local landmarks in Gartree
In Gartree, that means homes near Robert Smyth Academy, Church of St Andrew and The Black Horse pub and the streets around them.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Gartree
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles

- Shower trays & enclosures

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common questions in Gartree
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Gartree?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why it’s worth resealing in Gartree
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
