DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle bath resealing in Dudbridge

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dudbridge and across Gloucestershire.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Dudbridge

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Dudbridge

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Dudbridge. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
