Common problems we fix in Bowston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Bowston questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
