Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cowley, Derbyshire
We travel to Cowley for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing at your home in Cowley
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Cowley: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about bath resealing in Cowley
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover Cowley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cowley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cowley?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Cowley
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
