Gateside: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover Gateside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gateside and the rest of Fife. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How we handle bath resealing in Gateside
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Gateside
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Gateside. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Gateside
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
