Bath Resealing for Dafen homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Dafen and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Bath resealing at your home in Dafen
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Dafen
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Dafen
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How much does bath resealing cost in Dafen?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
