Why it’s worth resealing in Gasthorpe
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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 Gasthorpe clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK

About our bath resealing in Gasthorpe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Gasthorpe
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Gasthorpe?
We do. Technicians travel to Gasthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

- Shower trays & enclosures

Common problems we fix in Gasthorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Landlord and trade work in Gasthorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gasthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
