A damaged seal that’s no longer doing its job means a big bill for you... or even worse, water damage!
However, replacing silicone seals or simply changing a sealing ring isn’t as expensive as you might think.
How much, you ask?
I’ve analysed hundreds of job posted from customers who had their seals replaced by a professional on Yoojo (discover our service here).
I’ve sorted all the results to make your search for information easy :
The average price for all types of seal replacement
I started by gathering data from all 9,000 jobs completed on Yoojo to give you an average price for those of you in a hurry.
I also divided the jobs into two categories:
Caulking :
Silicone ring replacement :
The average prices above only include labour costs, not the purchase of materials
What about average hourly rates?
Next, I divided these 9,000 jobs by the number of hours worked by the plumbers available on Yoojo.
This gives you the average hourly rate for seal replacement:

Everything is digital: meaning clients pay fewer fees

Below, I’ve sorted the types of seal installation or replacement, to be more precise.
Then, I’ve classified everything into two tables for you below...
First: The price of tile seal installation per square metre
... but before I share these tables of the different jobs, I wanted to highlight one of the most requested services: silicone tile seal installation.
This job deserves its own spotlight, as it’s generally priced per square metre, unlike other jobs where the average price is per job!

You'll see:
- The customer’s need

- More details about the job
Example 1: Two sealing rings to replace
💰 Total price paid: £25
⏳ Job duration: 1 hour
Two leaking taps, two seals to replace, a straightforward job for a skilled plumber.
So simple that our customer found a local provider who replaced everything for just £25!
Example 2: Sink seal replacement
💰 Total price paid: £25
⏳ Job duration: 1 hour
Here’s another classic: a sink seal replacement.
The old seal was already removed. All that was left was to redo the silicone seal.
An easy job for a skilled handyman, hence the low price of £25!
Example 3: Bathtub seal replacement
💰 Total price paid: £38
⏳ Job duration: 1 hour
In the post, the customer mentioned they already had the materials ready for the job.
On Yoojo, you only book labour... it’s up to you to discuss material purchases with the provider – but don’t worry, you can chat before booking through our instant messaging!
Example 4: Fix a bathtub crack
💰 Total price paid: £38
⏳ Job duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
This post is a bit unusual... and that’s why Yoojo is amazing: you can find skilled providers for almost anything!
Here, the customer avoided replacing the entire bathtub by having the crack repaired for just £38. A great deal!
Example 5: Finish a job that was started
💰 Total price paid: £42
⏳ Job duration: 2 hours
Sometimes, you start a project only to realise it’s taking longer than expected!
That’s what happened with this customer who started removing silicone seals in her bathroom, then decided to call in a Yoojo provider.
In the end, it took two hours to reseal the whole bathroom for £42!
Example 6: Resealing a shower
💰 Total price paid: £50
⏳ Job duration: 2 hours
This post is interesting because the customer provided the dimensions of the surface to be resealed.
This is a great idea because the more details you provide, the more likely you are to attract the best providers.
Example 7: Bathroom epoxy seal job
💰 Total price paid: £50
⏳ Job duration: 2 hours
Here’s another interesting request because the customer specifically asked for epoxy seal installation, which is quite unique.
Luckily, thanks to Yoojo’s detailed provider profiles, she could check qualifications, equipment, ratings, and reviews before making her choice!
Example 8: Complete shower reseal
💰 Total price paid: £83
⏳ Job duration: 4 hours
Let’s finish with an interesting post as it involves resealing all the silicone seals of a walk-in shower.
What’s notable here is that the customer had only booked 2 hours in the provider’s schedule... not enough to finish the job.
Thankfully, with Yoojo’s extra hours system, they could book and pay for more hours directly from their Yoojo account.
Very convenient!
