Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in White Lackington, Dorset
Fixed-price bath resealing in White Lackington and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing in White Lackington without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

White Lackington questions
How much does bath resealing cost in White Lackington?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in White Lackington.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
