Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in High Dubmire

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Resealing in High Dubmire: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for High Dubmire. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

High Dubmire questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
