How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Lowick
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need bath resealing in Lowick?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
