Bath resealing near Dursley

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath resealing in Dursley without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Dursley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Dursley: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Dursley

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Dursley and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dursley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
