What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Eden Vale
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Eden Vale?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Eden Vale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Eden Vale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Eden Vale
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
