What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Kents Bank: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
