How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Throcking: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Throcking. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Throcking: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
