FAQs for Gillow Heath

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Gillow Heath?

We do. Technicians travel to Gillow Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gillow Heath

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gillow Heath, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gillow Heath as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
