Bath resealing in Cowgrove without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Most customers in Cowgrove get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Take a look at our full price list.
What affects the price in Cowgrove
We charge the same across the UK, including Cowgrove. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Cowgrove questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cowgrove is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
