Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Monkhams, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Monkhams
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Monkhams
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone

Common questions in Monkhams
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Monkhams?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
