Common questions in Owston
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Owston. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we handle bath resealing in Owston
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Owston
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need bath resealing in Owston

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
