Bath resealing for Dodington homes

Bath resealing in Dodington, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you have old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

In older homes in a village like Dodington, walls and floors can move a little, which is hard on sealant. We fill the bath before sealing so the joint lasts.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it. Somewhere as small as Dodington, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When to call us in Dodington

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

If you manage a building such as Nether Stowey Church of England Primary School, we repair changing rooms and washrooms as well as work in homes.

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. For a rural home like those around Dodington, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

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.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our Full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Dodington

Can you redo the sealant around baths and showers at a school or business in Dodington?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

Will you travel to Dodington?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, with the same prices as anywhere else.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Dodington included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dodington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
