Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Bowden. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Bowden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bowden
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Bowden is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are there extra charges for Bowden?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
