What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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, with the joint fully dried first.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

West Derby questions

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.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Derby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
