What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing at your home in Knapp

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Knapp

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Knapp, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

FAQs for Knapp

Do you cover Knapp?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Knapp from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 often lifts.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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