Bath Resealing for South Poorton homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in South Poorton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in South Poorton

- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Bath resealing at your home in South Poorton
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

What affects the price in South Poorton
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in South Poorton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
When to call us in South Poorton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for South Poorton
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
