Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Branksome, Poole
Bath resealing in and around Branksome: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Branksome, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
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. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Branksome: your questions answered
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you come to Branksome?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Branksome. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
