Questions from Densole

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does resealing take?

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Densole. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Densole, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
