Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing at your home in Foxholes

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Foxholes as everywhere else we work.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book

  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Foxholes questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Can landlords book you?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Foxholes. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you come to Foxholes?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Foxholes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxholes

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
