Bath resealing in Lytchett Matravers without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Lytchett Matravers
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When to call us in Lytchett Matravers
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why it’s worth resealing in Lytchett Matravers
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lytchett Matravers. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
