Bath resealing at your home in Bowbridge
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. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bowbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Bowbridge: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Bowbridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
