How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Bath resealing in Orton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath resealing in Orton
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How much does bath resealing cost in Orton?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Why it’s worth resealing in Orton
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
