Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Questions from Gubbion's Green
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM3 postcode.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are there extra charges for Gubbion's Green?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Gubbion's Green
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gubbion's Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
