Trusted bath resealing in Dukes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Dukes

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Dukes

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Dukes questions

Do you work in Dukes?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Dukes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Dukes?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 won’t last.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
