What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add 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 photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Dalham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath resealing in Dalham without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Dalham questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
