What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for South Bowood. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Bowood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in South Bowood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from South Bowood

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in South Bowood

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in South Bowood

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant

  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why South Bowood clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
