When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need bath resealing in High Pittington
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why High Pittington customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

High Pittington questions
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
