Bath resealing in Rodwell, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rodwell and across Dorset.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Rodwell?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

  • We leave the room as we found it

Rodwell questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Rodwell

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Rodwell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
