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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- 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.

Common problems we fix in Bishop's Caundle

- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal

- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

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.
