Trusted bath resealing in Duror

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle bath resealing in Duror

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Duror

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Duror

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Duror

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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