How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shepherds' Gate use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Advice
Shepherds' Gate questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Shepherds' Gate
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

When we would advise against a repair

- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
