What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Misery Corner. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Misery Corner

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Do you work in Misery Corner?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Misery Corner from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP20 postcode.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Misery Corner?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
