Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Gate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Gate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle bath resealing in Low Gate
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Low Gate
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
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.
FAQs for Low Gate
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
