About our bath resealing in Motcombe
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Motcombe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Motcombe
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Motcombe. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
