Bath Resealing for Street Gate homes
We travel to Street Gate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
How we handle bath resealing in Street Gate
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and an untidy old seal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
