Bath Resealing in Lee Gate
Fixed-price bath resealing in Lee Gate and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath resealing in Lee Gate without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Lee Gate
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Lee Gate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lee Gate. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath

What we’re called out for in Lee Gate
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone

- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
