Bath resealing in Dogdyke

Bath resealing in Dogdyke without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dogdyke

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Dogdyke

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is my repair covered?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Dogdyke?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LN4 postcode.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dogdyke

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Dogdyke clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
