Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Alkerton. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common questions in Alkerton
How much does bath resealing cost in Alkerton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Alkerton
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
