Trusted bath resealing in The Dunks

Bath resealing in The Dunks without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth resealing in The Dunks

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in The Dunks

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in The Dunks

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for The Dunks

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you come to The Dunks?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to The Dunks and the rest of Wrexham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
