Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Clare, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing in Clare, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Clare
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.
FAQs for Clare
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clare use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Clare
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone

What else we do in Clare
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
