Your questions about bath resealing in Gurney Slade
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

About our bath resealing in Gurney Slade
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

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
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Other services in Gurney Slade
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gurney Slade
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
