How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How we handle bath resealing in Blackbank
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Blackbank
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Blackbank
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Blackbank. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath resealing in Blackbank?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Blackbank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackbank use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
