Bath Resealing for Docklow homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Docklow, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing in Docklow without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Docklow
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in Docklow?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
