Bath resealing at your home in Bowness-on-Solway
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Bowness-on-Solway
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
