What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Daw's House

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Daw's House

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Resealing in Daw's House: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Daw's House, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Daw's House

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

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.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
