Dorridge questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Dorridge?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Bath resealing at your home in Dorridge
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Resealing in Dorridge: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Dorridge?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
