Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Southerndown
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Southerndown: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Southerndown.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How much does bath resealing cost in Southerndown?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Resealing in Southerndown: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
