Bath resealing at your home in Cowhill
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Cowhill
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cowhill, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Cowhill
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Cowhill?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Cowhill
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
