How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Briery Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

See our full price list.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Briery Hill

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
