Bath resealing in Gowkhall without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Resealing in Gowkhall: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Gowkhall
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
