FAQs for Gateacre
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gateacre?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How we handle bath resealing in Gateacre
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Resealing in Gateacre: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your L25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
