Bath resealing in Boscombe, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bournemouth.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Boscombe

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

Common reasons people in Boscombe contact us are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

10 questions to ask before you book

Boscombe: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Resealing in Boscombe: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Boscombe

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
