Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Combe St Nicholas get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Combe St Nicholas
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
