Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath resealing in The Herberts

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to The Herberts?

We do. We send a technician to The Herberts for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we are called out for in The Herberts

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in The Herberts contact us are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for The Herberts. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
