How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- 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, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What else we do in Longcause
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Longcause
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
