How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Capenhurst get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Capenhurst questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Capenhurst
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
