Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Take a look at our pricing.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
