How to compare quotes

Bath resealing at your home in Old Hutton

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Old Hutton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Old Hutton: your questions answered

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Old Hutton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Hutton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Old Hutton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
