About our bath resealing in Dorcan
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Dorcan
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about bath resealing in Dorcan
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
