How we handle bath resealing in Gilston
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Gilston?
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Gilston
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Gilston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise 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 the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
