Bath resealing in Dunston, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Dunston: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Dunston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dunston

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Dunston. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
