Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Wargrave questions
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Wargrave included. Travel is included in the price.
Resealing in Wargrave: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:

- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Landlord and trade work in Wargrave
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
