Bath resealing in Dorchester, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dorchester and across Oxfordshire.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
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.
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 kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
When to call us in Dorchester
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
