Local bath resealing for Howgill: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Howgill
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos

- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
