How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Trewen?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Trewen questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath resealing cost in Trewen?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Trewen.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
