Bath resealing for Dornock homes

Bath resealing in Dornock, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Dornock questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you come to Dornock?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dornock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Dornock

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Dornock

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Dornock?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 won’t last.
