About our bath resealing in Moorside

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Take a look at our full price list.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Moorside

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Moorside.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Moorside and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
