Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in East Orchard without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

East Orchard questions

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in East Orchard

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in East Orchard contact us are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Orchard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in East Orchard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SP7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
