The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price

How we handle bath resealing in Bowhill
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Bowhill: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does bath resealing cost in Bowhill?
