Bath resealing in Sowood without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sowood, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sowood questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Sowood?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Sowood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Sowood
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
