How we handle bath resealing in Dawpool

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dawpool as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Dawpool?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Dawpool questions

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wirral.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Dawpool?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
