What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Prittlewell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Prittlewell, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath resealing in Prittlewell
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Prittlewell: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Prittlewell?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Prittlewell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Prittlewell?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Resealing in Prittlewell: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
