Resealing in Howlish: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Howlish clients choose us

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath resealing in Howlish
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Common questions in Howlish
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
