Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What else we do in Gaulby
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

What affects the price in Gaulby
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about bath resealing in Gaulby
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Gaulby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gaulby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
