Trusted bath resealing in Cheselbourne

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Cheselbourne

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cheselbourne

What areas do you cover?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cheselbourne.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Are there extra charges for Cheselbourne?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Cheselbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Cheselbourne

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Resealing in Cheselbourne: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
