Bath resealing in Dobwalls without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dobwalls. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Dobwalls
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered

Questions from Dobwalls
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
