What a repair cannot fix

- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Bath resealing in Dousland, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Dousland questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Dousland?
We do. Technicians travel to Dousland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

What we are called out for in Dousland
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
