How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle bath resealing in Dresden

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Dresden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Your questions about bath resealing in Dresden

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dresden

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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