About our bath resealing in Gilsland
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Gilsland
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Common reasons people in Gilsland contact us are:
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Gilsland questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Gilsland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
