How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.
Bath resealing in West Barnes without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
West Barnes: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When to call us in West Barnes
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Barnes
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Barnes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Resealing in West Barnes: why it matters
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
