Bath resealing in Bere Regis

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we handle bath resealing in Bere Regis

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Bere Regis?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Bere Regis: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Do you come to Bere Regis?

We do. We send a technician to Bere Regis for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bere Regis?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BH20 postcode.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
