About our bath resealing in Gloucester

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Gloucester and nearby

Gloucester is about 31 miles north-east of Bristol, in Gloucestershire. Whether you’re in the middle of Gloucester or on the outskirts, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Gloucester is one of 470 places in Gloucestershire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Gloucester to Birmingham (45 miles away).

All of GL4, GL1, GL2 and GL3 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From High Street, St Michael's Square and Brunswick Square or a nearby road, we can come to you. Gloucester sits on or near the A38 and A40, so getting to you is simple. If you’re just outside Gloucester, we cover Tredworth (1 mile north-west), Barton (1 mile north), Coney Hill (1 mile east), Moreland (1 mile west) and High Orchard (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Cheltenham (7 miles north-east), Stroud (7 miles south), Tewkesbury (10 miles north), St Paul's (7 miles north-east), Cirencester (15 miles south-east) and Lansdown (7 miles north-east). As one of the bigger places in Gloucestershire, Gloucester is somewhere we visit frequently.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Gloucester

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Most clients in Gloucester get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlord and trade work in Gloucester

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Gloucester

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

What affects the price in Gloucester

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
