How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Springwell
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Springwell?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Springwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Springwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What we’re called out for in Springwell

- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone

- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Springwell
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
