What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Blackboys get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath resealing in Blackboys
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Blackboys
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Blackboys
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
