Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lake, Dorset
We travel to Lake for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Lake
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. We’re often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Lake
There’s no area surcharge for Lake. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need bath resealing in Lake
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

When a repair isn’t the answer

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lake
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Resealing in Lake: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
