Bath resealing in Bowscar without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bowscar
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Bowscar
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowscar use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
