How we handle bath resealing in Sutton Waldron

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton Waldron

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Sutton Waldron

Do you cover Sutton Waldron?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sutton Waldron and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sutton Waldron?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Sutton Waldron

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
