Bath resealing at your home in Sowhill
All of the old sealant is cut out, 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. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Sowhill
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Torfaen. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Sowhill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
