Bath resealing in Dormansland

Bath resealing in Dormansland without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Dormansland

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Dormansland questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
