Bath resealing near Dunkeswell

Bath resealing in Dunkeswell, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dunkeswell

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunkeswell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunkeswell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dunkeswell

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Common questions in Dunkeswell

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Across the UK, so Dunkeswell is covered. Prices do not change with location.

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

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
