When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath resealing in Dovendale

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Dovendale questions

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dovendale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
