What affects the price in Costhorpe

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our bath resealing in Costhorpe

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Costhorpe: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How much does bath resealing cost in Costhorpe?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S81 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
