Bath resealing at your home in Dolphin Town

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dolphin Town and across the Isles of Scilly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dolphin Town

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Dolphin Town. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dolphin Town. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Dolphin Town

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Dolphin Town and the rest of the Isles of Scilly. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work in Dolphin Town?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dolphin Town for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
