- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Bow
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Bow
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you cover Bow?
We do. We send a technician to Bow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bow?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX17 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Bow
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
Why it’s worth resealing in Bow
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
