Bath resealing for Drumlemble homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath resealing at your home in Drumlemble

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Drumlemble

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Drumlemble is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
