Bath resealing for Duckhole homes

Bath resealing in Duckhole without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Resealing in Duckhole: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Duckhole. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Duckhole get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Duckhole

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you come to Duckhole?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Duckhole for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Duckhole?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Duckhole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
