Book bath resealing in Dovecot

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How we handle bath resealing in Dovecot

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dovecot as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Dovecot

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Liverpool.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Dovecot?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your L14 postcode.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
