Resealing in New Town: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath resealing in New Town
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around New Town, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Town as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
