About our bath resealing in New Gate
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for New Gate
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How much does bath resealing cost in New Gate?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why it’s worth resealing in New Gate
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in New Gate
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
