Bath resealing at your home in Bowes
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Bowes
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal

Bowes: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Bowes?
We do. Technicians travel to Bowes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
