Bath resealing in Post Green, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and gaps in the seal.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Post Green

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Post Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Post Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Post Green

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Post Green

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Post Green customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
