Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
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.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Bath resealing in Great Houghton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Great Houghton
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Houghton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Great Houghton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
