Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Dunbury, Dorset
Fixed-price bath resealing in Dunbury and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in Dunbury
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Dunbury questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Dunbury and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
