How we handle bath resealing in Bishop's Caundle

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bishop's Caundle and across Dorset.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Bishop's Caundle

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop's Caundle

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Bishop's Caundle

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Bishop's Caundle. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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