How we handle bath resealing in Winterborne St Martin
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Winterborne St Martin
Sealant doesn’t 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 photo:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winterborne St Martin use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Winterborne St Martin: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Winterborne St Martin included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
