How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Bubnell

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

We do. We send a technician to Bubnell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
