Bath resealing at your home in Dunveth
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Dunveth. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Why it’s worth resealing in Dunveth
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
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. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Dunveth?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day

Dunveth: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Dunveth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dunveth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
