About our bath resealing in Old Dolphin
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Old Dolphin
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bradford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Old Dolphin?
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges

- Gaps by the taps

What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Old Dolphin. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add 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.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Old Dolphin questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
