Bath resealing in Whitchurch Canonicorum

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Whitchurch Canonicorum questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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 you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Common problems we fix in Whitchurch Canonicorum

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
