What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Leverstock Green. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Leverstock Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing in Leverstock Green without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Related advice

Leverstock Green: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Leverstock Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
