Bath resealing in Doveridge

Bath resealing at your home in Doveridge

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Doveridge

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Doveridge questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How much does bath resealing cost in Doveridge?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE6 postcode.

What affects the price in Doveridge

Send pictures for a quote

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
