Bath Resealing in How
Bath resealing across How and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Leaks at the edges

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

About our bath resealing in How
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from How
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to How?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to How for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath resealing cost in How?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Resealing in How: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why How customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
