DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath resealing at your home in Dogslacks
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Dogslacks. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
If you are in Dogslacks and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Resealing in Dogslacks: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath resealing in Dogslacks
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
