Bath resealing for Darite homes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Darite without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can help.

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Darite

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.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are there extra charges for Darite?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Darite and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Darite

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Darite

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
