Need bath resealing in Dunlop?

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Dunlop

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Dunlop

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Dunlop

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Dunlop: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dunlop. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
