How we handle bath resealing in Gussage St Michael

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Gussage St Michael

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gussage St Michael

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Landlord and trade work in Gussage St Michael

If you manage property in Gussage St Michael, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gussage St Michael

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
