Bath resealing for Walton Elm homes

Bath resealing at your home in Walton Elm

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Walton Elm

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Walton Elm?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Walton Elm, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Walton Elm

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
