Bath resealing at your home in Melbury Abbas

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Melbury Abbas

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work in Melbury Abbas?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Melbury Abbas and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

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.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Melbury Abbas?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Melbury Abbas. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SP7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Do you need bath resealing in Melbury Abbas?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Melbury Abbas

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
