Bath resealing at your home in Dunsden Green
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Dunsden Green
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does bath resealing cost in Dunsden Green?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
