What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Washfield
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why it’s worth resealing in Washfield
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
