Bath resealing at your home in Gilberries

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Gilberries: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gilberries. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.
