About our bath resealing in Dovenby
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Dovenby questions
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Dovenby?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Dovenby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need bath resealing in Dovenby
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Before we arrive
