Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

About our bath resealing in Stowell

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Stowell

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we’re called out for in Stowell

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Stowell

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Stowell: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Stowell?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stowell.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Stowell. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
