  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Penn Hill without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Penn Hill questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Penn Hill

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Penn Hill contact us are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Penn Hill. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
