What moves the price
- Removing old sealant — stripping out failed caulk adds time before any new sealing begins.
- Length of the sealant run — a long run around a bath and shower takes longer than a short seal behind a sink.
- Condition of existing surfaces — the worse the starting condition, the longer the caulking takes.
- Materials chosen — specialist sealants for exteriors or expansion joints cost more than standard ones.

How to pay less
- Having the bath, shower and kitchen sealed on the same visit can cost less than separate call-outs.
- Renewing sealant as soon as it starts to lift or grow mould can prevent water getting behind tiles and causing costly damage.
- Cleaning mould from the sealant regularly can make it last longer before it needs replacing.
- A standard bathroom sealant costs less than a specialist exterior sealant; you can ask which one the job needs.
- Clearing items from around the bath, sink and worktops yourself before the visit saves time on the caulking job.
