Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

About our bath resealing in Dowsby

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dowsby and across Lincolnshire.

Dowsby: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dowsby.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Dowsby?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Dowsby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Dowsby: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price
