Bath resealing in Howbeck, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Howbeck as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Howbeck
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Howbeck.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howbeck
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
