Bath resealing for Dunston homes

Bath resealing in Dunston without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Dunston

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Dunston. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath resealing in Dunston

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work in Dunston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dunston and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dunston.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
