Bath resealing near Doniford

About our bath resealing in Doniford

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Common problems we fix in Doniford

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Doniford: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you come to Doniford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Doniford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
