What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
If you’re in South Malling and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle bath resealing in South Malling
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Do you need bath resealing in South Malling?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from South Malling
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down 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.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
