Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Melplash, Dorset
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Melplash. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Melplash
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Melplash
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When to call us in Melplash
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
When we visit, 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
