- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing in Gay Street without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

FAQs for Gay Street
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
