Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grains Bar. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Grains Bar
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Grains Bar
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oldham.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
