About our bath resealing in Bowshaw
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bowshaw and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add 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.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlord and trade work in Bowshaw
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Your questions about bath resealing in Bowshaw
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?
Across the UK, so Bowshaw is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
