Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

About our bath resealing in Dove Holes
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

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

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
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.
When to call us in Dove Holes
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
