Bath resealing at your home in Pilsdon

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Pilsdon

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What affects the price in Pilsdon

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pilsdon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Resealing in Pilsdon: why it matters

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material
