Bath resealing in Bowthorpe without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Bowthorpe questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Bowthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Bowthorpe. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in Bowthorpe
We charge the same across the UK, including Bowthorpe. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths

Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
