About our bath resealing in Gorse Hill
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in Gorse Hill
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swindon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gorse Hill
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gorse Hill?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
