Hello Lisa, I would suggest this would be approx between £60 - £120. Decent sealant costs approx £6 - £12 a tube, and insist on the anti-mould kind that resists black growth & mould, some are guaranteed for 10yrs plus. Also make sure the tradesman fills the bath with water before he seals it to stop the sealant splitting. ( you would be surprised how many tradesmen don't do this simple job right ). Bath panel, is it to be made from scratch? or do you have the plastic kind? Kind regards Steve

Lisa, Before the bath can be resealed you will need to keep it dry for a minimum of 48 hours before old silicon removed and new silicon fitted and then let that dry for 48 hours. To do above and replace bath panel is about 2 hours work and silicon, etc. and should cost under £100.00 Bill Pipe Dreams Plumbing Services, Bournemouth, Dorset

Hello Lisa, you can calculate it to be a day job and it can cost you in a range of £80.00 to £155.00, depending where you are. Regards, Nish Maroo - Sussex Properties Solutions, Kingston Upon Thames.
