When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

About our bath resealing in Dobcross
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. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dobcross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs

Dobcross: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
Across the UK, and that includes Dobcross. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Dobcross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dobcross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
