Bath Resealing for Melbury Osmond homes
Bath resealing in and around Melbury Osmond: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
About our bath resealing in Melbury Osmond
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Resealing in Melbury Osmond: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Melbury Osmond
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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.

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
