How to compare quotes

Bath resealing at your home in Dungate

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.

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

What affects the price in Dungate

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

If you’re in Dungate and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dungate

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dungate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about bath resealing in Dungate

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
