Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lillington, Dorset
Bath resealing in and around Lillington: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath resealing at your home in Lillington
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, in baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Common questions in Lillington
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lillington?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Lillington?
We do. We send a technician to Lillington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lillington
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Lillington
There is no area surcharge for Lillington. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Lillington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
