Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath resealing in Low Street, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Common problems we fix in Low Street
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Low Street
We do not charge extra for travel to Low Street. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Low Street
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Low Street
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
