Signs you need bath resealing in Gorseness
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Bath resealing in Gorseness without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Gorseness questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How much does bath resealing cost in Gorseness?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Gorseness. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
