Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Askwith

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of Leeds?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Askwith

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
