Bath resealing in Stowford without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stowford

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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 happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Stowford questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Stowford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stowford.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stowford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Stowford

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Stowford. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
