Bath resealing in Miles Cross without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Miles Cross and across Dorset.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint 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, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Miles Cross
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath resealing in Miles Cross
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
