About our bath resealing in Bow
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bow
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bow?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ9 postcode.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Landlord and trade work in Bow
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
