Bath Resealing for Sturminster Newton homes
We travel to Sturminster Newton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Sturminster Newton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Sturminster Newton
- Basins & vanity units

Do you need bath resealing in Sturminster Newton?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Sturminster Newton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
