How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Bath resealing at your home in West Melbury

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from West Melbury

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to West Melbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Melbury. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Resealing in West Melbury: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our full price list.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
