Bath Resealing for Charminster homes
Our repair technicians come to Charminster for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Charminster
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Charminster questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Do you need bath resealing in Charminster?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charminster
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
