What affects the price in Crabtree
There is no charge for travel to Crabtree. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crabtree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath resealing at your home in Crabtree
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Questions from Crabtree
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath resealing cost in Crabtree?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Crabtree
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Crabtree
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
