How we handle bath resealing in Kington Magna
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Kington Magna
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Repairs by material

Your questions about bath resealing in Kington Magna
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Kington Magna?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
Before booking anyone

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
