Bath resealing in Docking

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Docking without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

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.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Docking

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Docking

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Docking questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Common problems we fix in Docking

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
