Bath resealing in Townsend, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Townsend and across Dorset.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Townsend questions
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Landlord and trade work in Townsend
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Townsend
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add 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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Townsend
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
