Bath resealing in Okeford Fitzpaine without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include stained silicone and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Okeford Fitzpaine

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Okeford Fitzpaine

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Okeford Fitzpaine

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
