Bath resealing in Hope Bowdler, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hope Bowdler
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Common problems we fix in Hope Bowdler
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 photo if you notice any of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
