How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath resealing in West Barns?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for West Barns
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What else we do in West Barns
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Barns
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in West Barns, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
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.
