How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Quendon. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing at your home in Quendon

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Quendon?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Quendon

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB11 postcode.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why it’s worth resealing in Quendon

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
