About our bath resealing in Southbourne
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common questions in Southbourne
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Southbourne?
We do. We send a technician to Southbourne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What affects the price in Southbourne
There’s no area surcharge for Southbourne. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
