Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Donisthorpe

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Donisthorpe

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DE12 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you work in Donisthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Donisthorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Donisthorpe

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
