What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Priston. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Priston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlord and trade work in Priston

If you manage property in Priston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Priston

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Priston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Priston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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