Bath resealing at your home in Pipe Gate
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Pipe Gate
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work 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 what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Pipe Gate. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Pipe Gate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Pipe Gate
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
