What affects the price in Allanton
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Allanton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Allanton?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
