Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

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

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in New Invention
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair

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