Bath Resealing for Gilmonby homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Gilmonby, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Bath resealing in Gilmonby without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Gilmonby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilmonby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When to call us in Gilmonby
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Common questions in Gilmonby
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
