If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

About our bath resealing in Dimsdale
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Dimsdale, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
