- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath resealing in Waddon without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Your questions about bath resealing in Waddon
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why it’s worth resealing in Waddon
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
