About our bath resealing in Dolau
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Dolau: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Dolau

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
