Bath resealing in Highcliffe, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Highcliffe
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Highcliffe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Highcliffe and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Highcliffe
We charge the same across the UK, including Highcliffe. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
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, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
