What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath resealing at your home in Brèibhig

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Brèibhig

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work in Brèibhig?

We do. We send a technician to Brèibhig for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Brèibhig

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brèibhig

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
