Bath Resealing in West Hurn
We travel to West Hurn for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How we handle bath resealing in West Hurn
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

West Hurn questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in West Hurn
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in West Hurn
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
