Bath resealing in Dores, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Dores
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Dores: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Resealing in Dores: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
