How we handle bath resealing in Doonfoot

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Doonfoot: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Do you work in Doonfoot?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

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

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Doonfoot, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Doonfoot. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
