About our bath resealing in Dalswinton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Dalswinton questions

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What affects the price in Dalswinton

We do not charge extra for travel to Dalswinton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Dalswinton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Dalswinton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Dalswinton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
