What affects the price in Torwood
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
About our bath resealing in Torwood
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on

Torwood questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
