Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sherborne, Dorset
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Sherborne, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Sherborne, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Common questions in Sherborne
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Signs you need bath resealing in Sherborne
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sherborne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Sherborne
What affects the price in Sherborne
We charge the same across the UK, including Sherborne. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
