Bath resealing in Blacknoll without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Blacknoll

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do you work in Blacknoll?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blacknoll and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Blacknoll

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blacknoll as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
