Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cattistock, Dorset
Fixed-price bath resealing in Cattistock and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Cattistock customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page.
Bath resealing in Cattistock without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
FAQs for Cattistock
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cattistock?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
