Bath resealing at your home in Bowling
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and stained silicone.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Bowling and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Bowling
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
Bowling questions
How much does bath resealing cost in Bowling?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BD4 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Bowling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
