Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Boldre
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
FAQs for Boldre
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How much does bath resealing cost in Boldre?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.

Resealing in Boldre: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
