Questions from Dursley
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dursley.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Dursley included. Travel is included in the price.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Dursley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Dursley
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
