How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Bath resealing in Christchurch without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Christchurch
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Christchurch
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
