What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle bath resealing in Whale Hill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Whale Hill

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Whale Hill: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Whale Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Whale Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Whale Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Resealing in Whale Hill: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whale Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
