Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Oborne, Dorset
Our technicians come to Oborne for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Oborne, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Oborne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Oborne
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work in Oborne?
We do. Technicians travel to Oborne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oborne
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
