DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your FK14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Dollar

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Dollar: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Dollar?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dollar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
