Bath resealing at your home in Whitecliff
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we are called out for in Whitecliff
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common questions in Whitecliff
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Poole?
We cover the entire UK, including Whitecliff and the rest of Poole. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
