- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What affects the price in Loders
There is no charge for travel to Loders. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Bath resealing at your home in Loders
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Loders questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
