Your questions about bath resealing in Cowhill
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What areas do you cover?
All of South Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Bath resealing at your home in Cowhill
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
When to call us in Cowhill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book

What else we do in Cowhill
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
