Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cauldwell, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How we handle bath resealing in Cauldwell
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Cauldwell
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Cauldwell?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cauldwell?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Cauldwell
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
