Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
About our bath resealing in Howlett End
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Howlett End and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Howlett End
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Howlett End
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
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. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
