Bath resealing in Gosford, done in place
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 a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Gosford
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Gosford included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gosford?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
