Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Wallcrouch: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
