Common questions in Drimpton
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Drimpton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Drimpton and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Bath resealing in Drimpton without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Drimpton as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Drimpton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Drimpton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners

- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
