What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newbury's. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle bath resealing in Newbury's

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

For a rural address like Newbury's, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. For a rural address like Newbury's, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Newbury's questions

Do you work for landlords with property near Wadhurst station?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we’ll quote.

Will you travel to Newbury's?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Do you need bath resealing in Newbury's?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Landlords with property near Wadhurst station (about 1.9 miles west) use us between tenancies, so baths and showers are repaired rather than replaced.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Older homes around Newbury's may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
