How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
About our bath resealing in Capheaton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Capheaton
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths

When to call us in Capheaton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
