Common questions in Gilley Law
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How we handle bath resealing in Gilley Law
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Resealing in Gilley Law: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Gilley Law. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gilley Law. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
