Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath resealing in Dublin

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Dublin clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Dublin

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Dublin. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

If you’re in Dublin and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
