About our bath resealing in Gate Foot
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

Gate Foot questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Gate Foot?
We do. We send a technician to Gate Foot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Gate Foot: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gate Foot, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
