Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath resealing in Dean Village

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Dean Village: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dean Village

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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, once the joint is completely dry.

What we are called out for in Dean Village

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Dean Village: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Read our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
