The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about bath resealing in Dalmore
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dalmore included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When to call us in Dalmore
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Dalmore, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
