Bath resealing at your home in Cowlinge
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cowlinge and across Cambridgeshire.

Questions from Cowlinge
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you need bath resealing in Cowlinge?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cowlinge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
