About our bath resealing in Stowting

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s stained silicone and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Stowting: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

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.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Stowting

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
