Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Milkwell, Dorset
We travel to Milkwell for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath resealing in Milkwell, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Milkwell
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Your questions about bath resealing in Milkwell
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Milkwell.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
