Bath resealing in Dottery without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Resealing in Dottery: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dottery use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need bath resealing in Dottery?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

FAQs for Dottery

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dottery.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
