Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Owston, Doncaster
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Owston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Owston without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean 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, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Do you need bath resealing in Owston?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled

Questions from Owston
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you come to Owston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Owston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
