Bath resealing in Rivers' Corner, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Rivers' Corner: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Rivers' Corner

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Rivers' Corner and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Rivers' Corner, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Resealing in Rivers' Corner: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

See our prices page.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
