Need bath resealing in Dallow?

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we handle bath resealing in Dallow

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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.

Dallow questions

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Luton.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath resealing in Dallow?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
