What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Tuffley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Tuffley
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you come to Tuffley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tuffley and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Signs you need bath resealing in Tuffley
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tuffley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
