Bath resealing in Whitcombe without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Whitcombe: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, so Whitcombe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
