How we handle bath resealing in Stow
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and stained silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Stow: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need bath resealing in Stow
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Stow contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
