What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for The Mount. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath resealing in The Mount

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 usually the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in The Mount, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in The Mount

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Resealing in The Mount: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Signs you need bath resealing in The Mount

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
