The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

More services for Gateford
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Questions from Gateford
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gateford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Gateford?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why it’s worth resealing in Gateford
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gateford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
