The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bottom Boat. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Bottom Boat questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bottom Boat
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
