Bath resealing near Dunsbury

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.

Bath resealing in Dunsbury without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Older homes around Dunsbury can have uneven walls and floors, so a careful reseal matters even more.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Dunsbury

Do you come out to small places like Dunsbury?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, with the same prices as anywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Dunsbury?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dunsbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

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.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there. For a rural address like Dunsbury, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath resealing comes with us in one trip.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Dunsbury

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

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunsbury

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
