Bath resealing in Bowers Gifford, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Bowers Gifford
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Bowers Gifford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bowers Gifford
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
