About our bath resealing in Gatley
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Gatley
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

Do you need bath resealing in Gatley?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlord and trade work in Gatley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Resealing in Gatley: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Gatley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Gatley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
