Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in East Holme, Dorset
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in East Holme, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in East Holme
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

East Holme questions
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Signs you need bath resealing in East Holme
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
