Bath resealing in Sturminster Marshall, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Sturminster Marshall: your questions answered

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What do you need from me?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
