How we handle bath resealing in Gowhole
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Gowhole: your questions answered
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.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gowhole
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Gowhole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
