How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Gorse Hill: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Gorse Hill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.
