Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Buckstone. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
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.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about bath resealing in Buckstone
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Buckstone included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Buckstone?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What we’re called out for in Buckstone
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
