What we’re called out for in Pokesdown
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
