Bath resealing in Doe Lea, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Do you need bath resealing in Doe Lea?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Resealing in Doe Lea: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Doe Lea customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Doe Lea questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Doe Lea included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What affects the price in Doe Lea

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
