Bath resealing at your home in Fifehead Magdalen
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fifehead Magdalen and across Dorset.

Fifehead Magdalen: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What affects the price in Fifehead Magdalen
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fifehead Magdalen
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
