Bath resealing in Blandford St Mary

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Blandford St Mary, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Blandford St Mary

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How much does bath resealing cost in Blandford St Mary?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Blandford St Mary, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath resealing in Blandford St Mary?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
