What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.

Common questions in Crofton
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Crofton?
We do. We send a technician to Crofton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crofton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Crofton
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Crofton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
