What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Longnor get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longnor

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Longnor

Do you work in Longnor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Longnor and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Resealing in Longnor: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
